- Meridian High School's Jada Green, right, makes the catch as she collides with teammate Kenziyah Carlisle during their game Thursday, April 15, 2021, at Southeast Lauderdale.
Akira Causey went 4-for-4 with two RBIs and four runs scored for Southeast Lauderdale as the Lady Tigers blanked Meridian High School 10-0 in Thursday night prep fast-pitch action.
Chandler Lucas got the win for Southeast Lauderdale, pitching all five innings and giving up just five hits and one walk while striking out five.
“Offensively we didn’t do what I expected us to do,” Southeast Lauderdale coach Chris Harper said. “I thought Chandler Lucas did a good job pitching and keeping them off balance. I think Meridian is better, especially with hitting. Chandler was around her location and hitting her spots. We’ve been struggling doing that — our whole pitching staff has — and tonight it was good to see us close to our location.”
