After a 15-0 unbeaten regular season, the Alleghany Lady Mountaineers (16-0) JV softball team kept going with their winning ways as the team advanced to the Three Rivers District JV Championship game following their 12-2 semifinals victory on Wednesday against the Radford Bobcats.
Savannah Cash (W, 3-for-4) and Kinlee Huffman (2-for-3) led the way for the Lady Mounties with each collecting a three RBI performance. Cash and Peyton Broughman (3-for-3), led the team in hits with three each. The duo had half the team’s hits as the Lady Mounties picked up 12 hits in the win. Kaylee Nicely (1-for-3), added an RBI and three runs scored.
Meanwhile, on the mound, Cash was just as good as she was at the plate by picking up the win for the Lady Mounties. In five innings pitched, Cash allowed two runs (both earned) on five hits while walking three and striking out six.
After falling behind in the first inning down 1-0, the Lady Mounties put together a three-run second inning highlighted by a two-run double by Cash.
Leading 3-1, the Lady Mounties began to separate themselves from the Bobcats as they scored six runs in the third inning, Nicely, Broughman, and Abbi Riley (1-for-4), each had RBI doubles, while Cash had an RBI triple, and Huffman provided an RBI single.
With a seven run lead, the Lady Mounties weren’t done yet as the team scored three more in the fourth inning thanks to an RBI double from Huffman and an RBI single by Allie Sloan (1-for-3).
For the Bobcats, Kaydence Rollins (3-for-3), did all she could for her team as she put together a three-hit day to go along with one RBI, Quinn Burton (L, 0-for-3), suffered the loss for the Bobcats. In four innings pitched in, Burton gave up 12 runs (five earned) on 12 hits while walking one and striking out six.
The Lady Mounties will meet up with Floyd County for the district championship today.
