Carroll County High School Softball 🏫 ends its injury filled season on a high note with 3-2 victory over James River.

Carroll County High School Softball played one of its most complete games of its roller coaster season Friday night, holding on for a 3-2 Three Rivers District victory over James River.

The Lady Cavaliers finished the season at 8-12, including 4-8 in the District.

During the pre-game introductions the names of Holly Miller, Kenzie McMillian and Faith Clontz were read as all three have been out for the season. Brooke Webb missed part of the season as well in addition to the team playing the season without long time Assistant Coach Jeff Tobler after his unexpected passing last December.

Emma Harman started in the circle and limited the Knights to just a pair of singles through the first six innings. The Lady Cavaliers finally scratched out one run in the bottom of the fourth inning after Laiken Burnett led off with one of her three base hits. Bayleigh Allen moved her over to second base with her second single and Burnett scored on a RBI sacrifice fly by Raylee Goins.

Carroll County padded its lead with two more runs in the fifth inning with Harman and Addie Greene both reached base on fielder choices and came around to score. Madison Coleman also collected two of the 10 singles the Cavaliers finished up with.

James River made things interesting in the top of the seventh inning. After one out, three straight Knights reached base on well placed singles. Harman recorded the second out on a RBI fielders choice but pinch hitter Sierra Ware singled to left centerfield on the first pitch, cutting the lead to 3-2.

Leadoff hitter Caitlyn Downey ripped a shot that appeared heading for the rightfield corner but Coleman saved the night with a running catch. Dramatic ending to a well played game by both teams. CCHS swept the season series versus the Knights. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers will finish up just outside the cutoff for Regional tournament play.

Carlie Beamer played her final game at Cavalier Park as the teams lone Senior is heading to Southwest Virginia Community College in the fall.

Prior to the game, the Lady Cavaliers finished their season of Ceremonial First Pitches. The season finale was a tribute to our Armed Forces and included six folks who have served our Country in the Military.
