Callaway (6-9 overall) fell to 1-1 in the region, while Lamar County improved to 2-0 in region play.

Lydia Bartlett had two hits and an RBI, and Oeisha Jenkins had a pair of hits.

Leadoff hitter Leijorey Sanders had a hit and two runs scored, and Alora Vetsavong walked and scored a run.

Jenkins started and pitched into the second inning, and Lexi Furgeson threw the final 3 1/3 innings.

The game ended in the fifth inning because of the run rule.

Kelyse Harris and Brinkley Yevak each hit home runs for Lamar County, and Yevak threw a five-inning complete game.

Callaway will host region foe Heard County on Thursday.
