With Friday’s 4-2 win over Murray, the Lady Marshals secured the #1 seed in the 4th District Tournament. All four runs were brought in by Allicen Harris on a two-run single in the first inning and a double in third.
The 4-0 lead held until the top of the sixth when Murray put two runs on the board on a steal of home by Sydney Wyatt and double off the bat of Kylie Chapman and the two tying runs were left stranded.
Harris pitched five and a third innings to earn the win, allowing three hits and two runs while the save went to Gracelyn Darnall.
