Carroll County High School Softball team trailed 8-6 and was down to their final out on Wednesday night. Laynie-Jo Leonard had just ripped a line drive that sadly found the glove of the Knights’ first baseman to make it 2 outs and nobody on base.
Natalie Burress coaxed a walk to keep the game from ending, and the Lady Cavaliers added a second base on balls to bring Greene up to the plate. The Junior delivered with a shot to the gap that tied the game at 8-8, and the play ended with Greene standing on third base.
The Knights decided to issue an intentional pass to the red hot Laiken Burnett to set up the game ending play. Holly Miller became the fourth Lady Cavalier to earn a walk 🚶♀️in the bottom of the seventh, and ball four squirted away from the catcher, allowing a hustling Greene to beat the tag on a bang bang play to send the soaked crowd home with a smile !
10:20 pm. marked the end of the seventh Three Rivers District victory of the season and gave Carroll County a split with James River. 7-5 in the district !
Greene led the 15-hit attack with four base knocks in addition to splitting the pitching duties with Emma Harman.
Both Holly Miller and Burnett picked up three hits each. Brooke Webb made the multi hit club a quartet with two base hits.
Ryan McCafferty caught the dramatic end of the game after watching the equally dramatic 1-0 victory for Adrienne McGuire and Company. I encourage folks to check ✔️ out his full gamer.
