Baseball/softball roundup
BERNE and HUNTINGTON - Hits were hard to come by Wednesday night.
That boded well for the South Adams softball team, but was not such a good thing for Jay County.
The host Starfires managed just three hits, but took advantage of a multitude of errors in a 11-0, five-inning win over the Randolph Southern Rebels. The Class 4A No. 5 Huntington North Vikings no-hit visiting Jay County as the Patriots fell 2-0.
There were just seven hits in the two games combined.
Amber Melick and Kayla Minnich combined on a one-hitter for South Adams (4-1). Melick got the win, recording 10 of her 12 outs by way of the strikeout.
Lindsay Batt powered the Starfire offense with a double and two runs. Anne Lehman singled and scored twice, Ashton Morgan had a hit, a run and an RBI and Jana Beitler scored two runs.
Jay County dropped to 2-3 as it took on the tough task of trying to bat against Viking ace Katie Hackney. She went the distance, racking up 18 strike outs without giving up a hit or a walk.
Shae Keller turned in a solid effort for the Patriots, allowing just three hits. Only one of the two runs against her was earned as she walked four and struck out three.
