The old adage that good pitching stops good hitting doesn’t always hold true. 

The ninth-ranked Clyde Lady Bulldogs gave an example of this on Friday, handing No. 7 Eastland and ace pitcher Brynna Foster a 9-4 loss at ACU’s Poly Wells Field. 

Jacie Roberts was 3 for 4 with a double, a triple and four RBIs, and Brooke Widener was 2 for 4 with two RBIs to lead Clyde (28-5), which held off an Eastland rally after building an 8-0 lead by the fifth inning.
