  • Newsom has another walk-off for Lady Vandals

    Whitney Newsom has a flair for the dramatic.

    For some reason, the Vandalia senior always seems to find a bat in her hands with the game on the line.

    Not that anyone cares, since she seems to deliver every time.

    Such was the case last Wednesday when her sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning brought home sophomore Morgan Whightsil to give the Lady Vandals a 3-2 comeback win against Greenville.

    That was Newsom's second walk-off at-bat of the season.
