The Franklin County Rebelettes lost to the Lipscomb Academy Mustangs 6-3 at Crockett Park Saturday in a quarterfinal game for the Silver bracket at the Brentwood Invitational.

All of the scoring was done in the game’s first two innings as the Rebelettes weren’t able to overcome an early deficit against the bracket’s eventual runner-up.

The Rebelettes responded by tying the score in the top of the second as Jocilyn DeSmet hit an RBI single, Natalie Hagood scored on a passed ball and Leah Henley hit into an RBI groundout to put the score at 3-3.

However, the Mustangs put up another three runs in the bottom of the second to reset the deficit back to where it was at the start of the inning.

The Rebelettes weren’t able to score any runs in the next two innings, and the 75-minute time limit for the game expired after the top of the fourth as they lost by three to end their tournament run.

Hagood pitched the first 1 1-3 innings for the Rebelettes with three hits, four earned runs and two unearned runs allowed.

Miley DeSmet pitched the remaining 1 2-3 innings with one strikeout, two hits and no runs allowed.
