Jay softball wins high-scoring affair
Defensively, it wasn’t a pretty game.
The Patriots made enough plays on offense to beat their state-line rival.
Jay County High School’s softball team scored seven runs in two separate innings Saturday, cruising to a comfortable 20-12 victory over Fort Recovery in a game that was littered with errors.
Fort Recovery (7-9), which was charged with eight mishaps in the field, scored four times in the second inning to lead 4-1. But Jay County (4-4) responded with its first seven-run inning for an 8-4 advantage.
The Indians scored six times in the fourth inning to go out front 11-10, but their time ahead on the scoreboard was short-lived. Kensey Litton homered as part of a three-run JCHS frame to give the Patriots a lead they never gave up.
Jay County scored seven more times in the sixth inning.
Aubrie Schwieterman had four hits, including two doubles, and drove in three runs for Jay County, which also got a three-hit, three-RBI game from Hannah Phillips. Kady Finnerty and Maggie Pryor also notched a double and two singles.
Macy Day finished with a double and a single for Fort Recovery, and Bailee Tebbe also contributed a double. Aleigha Jenkins had four singles and four RBIs, as Rachel Thien contributed three singles.
