Its winning ways were not. Hallie Grace Malone had 12 strikeouts in a complete-game shutout, and Mary Katherine Marsh scored the game’s only run on a passed ball as Tallulah Academy beat Briarfield Academy 1-0 in the MAIS District 4-1A opener for both teams. Tallulah (8-2) won its seventh game in a row. In the bottom of the fourth inning, however, a couple of mistakes gave Tallulah the opening it needed. She stole second, went to third on a ground out, then dashed home when a pitch in the dirt skirted past the catcher.
