JCHS unable to hold off Knights
Jay County roundup
A see-saw battle ended up with the Patriots on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
Jay County High School’s softball team had leads of 1-0, 4-3 and 6-4 Thursday, but couldn’t hold off the Northeastern Knights in a 7-6 loss.
The Patriots took the lead for the last time with two runs in the fourth inning, only to have Northeastern score twice in the top of the fifth to pull even. The Knights took the lead with a run in the seventh and held on for the win.
Larissa Boles suffered the loss, giving up seven runs — six earned — on 11 hits and a walk in seven innings. She struck out nine batters.
Boles hit a solo home run as she finished 2-for-4 at the plate for the Patriots, who fell to 12-11. Catherine Dunn doubled and drove in two runs, and Katlin Petro had two hits and a run.
Baseball falls 4-1
DECATUR — The host Bellmont Braves had as many runs as the Patriots did hits Thursday as they handed Jay County a 4-1 defeat.
Jason Houston suffered the loss for JCHS (12-11) as he allowed four runs — two earned — on eight hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings. Bellmont took the lead with two runs in the bottom of the second inning and added two more in the sixth.
Houston paced the Patriot offense with two hits. Alex Dunn scored Jay County’s lone run in the third inning, and Kyle Selvey and Keenan James added one hit apiece.
JCHS will host the Patriot Invitational on Saturday before closing its regular season Monday with a visit to Bluffton.
