Jay softball drops two

ANDERSON - Jay County moved up its double-header to try to avoid today's forecast of thunderstorms. But they couldn't avert the Scots' bats.

The Patriot softball team dropped both games Friday, falling 11-1 in five innings and 10-1 to Anderson Highland.

The Scots (13-2) took control of game one with 10 runs in the first two innings on the way to ending the game early. They were up 3-0 in game two before pulling away with five runs in the fourth inning.

Brittney Watson suffered the game-one defeat, giving up 11 runs - 10 earned - on 15 hits and one walk. Rachelle Jackson allowed 10 runs - seven earned - on 13 hits and four walks in the game-two loss.

Jay County (3-11, 2-4 Olympic Athletic Conference) was held to just three hits in each game.

Kendra Younger and Taylor Franklin each came up with a hit in both games. Younger singled in the first and had an RBI double in the second, and Franklin had an RBI double in game one and a single in game two.

Selena McKibben singled and scored the lone JCHS run in the second game, and Nikka Chaney crossed the plate with the only run in the first. Lexie Gierhart also had a hit in the opener.[[In-content Ad]]
