Five Good Minutes with Alan Knight as his Lady Panthers pushed their winning streak to four games at Madison County Wednesday night 🌙

Page County 13, Madison County 2

  Page County High School Softball moved to 4-3 on the season Wednesday night with a 13-2 District victory at Madison County.

When you play the reining Class 3 State Champs ( Broadway ) in two of your first three games, there’s a good chance of picking up a pair of early losses. The Gobblers swept Page County, but the team has now won four in a row. Madison County is off to a rough start this season, and PCHS took care of business in the toad victory.

The road ahead will get a little testy as the team has two games with the Class 2 State Champs 🏆 Central – Woodstock on the horizon. The team plays Stonewall Jackson High School 🏫 on Friday.

Page County Softball completes the week sweep by taking care of visiting Rappahannock County…

Page County won three of three softball games this week by three different means. The victories were over Strasburg 1-0 in a pitcher’s duel, 14 – 11 over East Rock 🪨 in a back and forth offensive explosion, and finally, one that landed somewhere in between.

After dropping two games against defending State Champs 🏆, Broadway and one to neighboring East Rock, the team is now back at .500 with a 3-3 mark.

April 15th at Madison County is the next time the Lady Panthers will take to the Diamond 💎.

Five Good Minutes with Alan Knight and his Lady Panthers Softball program, after a wild one versus East Rock 🪨 on Thursday afternoon

The first time around for Coach Knight and Company against neighboring East Rock created the question of how many times in 45 years has PCHS been on the wrong end of a run rule shortened game ?

East Rock 🪨 scored early and often on its way to a lopsided 17-2 victory at Alan Knight Field just a few weeks ago. Yesterday proved to be a different story as the Lady Panthers jumped out to a big lead and held on for a thrilling 14-11 road victory.

The home team trimmed the lead to 12-11 with a big rally in the bottom of the sixth before Page County answered with two insurance runs 🏃‍♀️ in the seventh to secure its second victory of the week.

No rest, though, as Rappahannock High is the opponent today as Page County looks for a three game sweep of the week !

Earlier in the week, PCHS won a pitchers duel against Strasburg 1-0. The Lady Panthers only scratched out two hits against the Rams 🐏 but fortunately, one of them cleared the fence for the games only run !

Stay tuned !
