OXFORD – John Troquille, the coach of Louisiana’s Ward 10 Belles team, didn’t mind saying he was a little nervous going into his team’s tournament opener in the Dixie Softball World Series.
There was a lot on the line. His was the last of the Ward 10 teams to play Saturday at Choccolocco Park and all the Tioga teams that played before him had won their games.
It was a tight game early, but his Belles (15U) broke it open with a six-run fourth and went on to beat Wayne County (Tenn.) 13-1 to complete Ward 10s 3-0 day.
The Angels (10U) blanked Wahneta (Fla.), 14-0 and the Ponytails X-Play team (12U) routed Around The Lake (Fla.) 13-2. The Ward 10 Sweeties (6U) open a best-of-three championship series against Around The Lake (Fla.) Sunday at 11 a.m.
“It’s not surprising, but it definitely wasn’t banked on,” Troquille said. “We were definitely coming in knowing we were going to face some good teams and Tennessee gave us everything we wanted.”
He said he felt a little pressure to keep it going.
“Most definitely,” he said. “As a matter of fact I had to take some (medication) before we got out here because my stomach was hurting so bad.”
The Belles and Wayne County were tied 1-1. Abbi Troquille broke the tie with an RBI single and Zoe Roland followed with a two-run triple. They added three more before the inning ended.
“It’s a great big win for all of our Ward 10 teams to get to second day undefeated,” Troquille said. “Were a lot better now. We’re going to go get something to eat now.”
