The Hill – Addie Greene went the distance in the circle and limited the visiting Lady Cougars to just seven base hits, but the effort fell just short in the 5-2 setback in the Three Rivers District contest Tuesday night.

Carroll County avoided the big innings that proved to be their downfall in the first match-up over in Stuart. In both the first and second innings, Patrick County had their leadoff hitter reach base and come around to score to give the visitors an early 2-0 lead.

The Lady Cavaliers drew even in the bottom of the fourth inning when the bottom of the lineup strung together three of the eight base hits. Emma Harman started the rally with an one out single and one batter later, Laiken Burnett continued to enjoy her night of recognition by collecting her second base knock of the contest.

Bayleigh Allen chased the pair home with a two out double, much to the delight of the home crowd at Cavalier Park. Tied 2-2 with three innings to play, Carroll County had a new life !

Patrick County regained the lead in the top of the fifth inning when Lacey Sutphin came to the plate with Ava Hiatt standing on third base. Hiatt led off with a single and advanced twice on ground outs to set the stage for Sutphin.

Sutphin sent a shot towards centerfield that second baseman Raylee Goins knocked down and somehow found a way to throw to first base from the ground. Sutphin beat out the infield single by an eyelash to give the Lady Cougars a 3-2 lead.

Natalie Burress drilled a two out double in the bottom of the fifth inning, but unfortunately, the Junior could not make it home to tie the score.

PCHS added two insurance runs in the top of sixth on a two run double from Hiatt, creating the 5-2 final score.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Allen  led off with a single and Holly Miller followed with a line shot to center, but Chloe Hubbard was able to haul it in after getting a great read on the ball.

Greene, in addition to her pitching, picked up two singles to join Burnett and Allen in the multi hit club.

The team will return to Cavalier Park on Thursday afternoon for a 4:45 Senior Day  celebration to be followed by a 6:00 first pitch in a Varsity only contest with Glenvar.

7:23 pm & 66° – time of game, 1:25

The Hill – Carroll County Junior Varsity returned home to Cavalier Park Tuesday night for the first time in weeks last night, hosting the Lady Cougars of Patrick County. The team was missing their head coach ( illness) and starting pitcher ( moved up for the night) but still put up a good effort against PCHS in an 11-1 setback.

Carroll County was coached by Varsity assistant Travis Leath and held their own minus two half innings. The second and the sixth (final) frames produced nine of the eleven runs.

Kyra Moser led the offense with two of the three hits, and in the bottom of the fourth, she came around to score after a sacrifice bunt from Millie Parker and a throwing error.

Bree Campbell picked up a base hit in the fifth inning but was erased on a line drive double play off the bat of Maeli Parker. The shot from Parker was drilled, but unfortunately, it went right to the short stop.

Aspen Aldred recorded four outs while playing third base, including knocking down to balls headed to left field and finishing the play with a throw across the diamond.

The team was scheduled to play at home against Glenvar on Thursday afternoon, but that game has been moved back until the end of the season.

Patrick County …. 151 004 – 11

Carroll County …..000  100 – 1

4:57 – 1st Pitch, 64°
