South Iredell's first inning

Here is what South Iredell's first inning looked like during Tuesday's softball game against Bessemer City.

1. Kasey Kerley slap single
2. Laci Graney single (Kerley moves to second)
3. Devan Poff fly out to left field (Kerley tags up to third)
Graney steals second
4. Kathleen Pasquarella reaches first on a fielder's choice (Kerley scores, Graney moves to third)
Laci Graney scores on wild pitch, Pasquarella advances to second
5. Amber Graney single (Pasquarella scores)
6. Kayla Kerley single (Amber Graney to second)
7. Kelsey Spangler walk (Kayla Kerley to second, A. Graney to third)
8. Kayla Jones triple to right field (A. Graney, Kayla Kerley, Spangler score)
9. Kendall Honeycutt single to left field (Jones scores)
Honeycutt advances to second on wild pitch
10. Kasey Kerley slap single to center (Honeycutt to third)
11. Laci Graney to first on fielder's choice (Honeycutt out at the plate, Kerley to second)
12. Devan Poff single to center (Kerley scores, Graney to second)
13. Kathleen Pasquarella reaches second on error (Laci Graney, Poff score)
14. Amber Graney flies out to left field

I've never seen a team, in baseball or softball, send 14 batters to the plate in one inning. So many of those hits were on the first pitch, too.

The Vikings as a team found themselves in an unusual zone, and they made the most of it. If they do the same during the playoffs, they'll be an incredibly tough out.
