No. 4 Elwood downs Patriots
ELWOOD — A big second inning proved too much for the Jay County High School softball team in a 17-4 loss to the Elwood Panthers on Wednesday.
Elwood, which is ranked fourth in Class 2A, scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning and added nine in the second for a quick 11-0 lead. The Panthers added five more in the third before Jay County (0-8) finally broke through with four runs in the fourth inning.
Freshman Kensey Litton and sophomore Emily Corn both had two hits for the Patriots. Catera Gierhart, a junior, had a hit and drove in two runs. Kady Finnerty and Gabby Hart each had a hit.
Gwen Butcher pitched for the Patriots, and she suffered the loss.
Jay County plays its second ranked opponent in as many days tonight when it travels to take on Class 2A No. 9 Adams Central at 5 p.m. The Patriots then meet Lapel, which finished 18th in the most recent poll, at 10 a.m. Saturday.
