East Jessamine softball's recent trip to Bowling Green for the Greenwood Border Battle was a tough one, to say the least, with a 1-3 tournament record leaving the Jaguars licking their wounds. On Monday, with 13-3 Anderson County in town, East responded for head coach Tom Hamm and his daughter, junior Haylee Hamm, hours after they left the funeral of a loved one in a 11-9 win. East collectively hit .379, which was made up of 11 hits, a home run and a slew of doubles. The Jags also took their share of hits early in the game, allowing eight runs through the fifth inning, but with what the team allowed on the defensive end, they made up for with their bats as the game reached its conclusion.
