Lady Scots see season end

By ROB HAMILTON

Highland’s first play­off game was a def­i­nite suc­cess, as they topped Colum­bus East 34–0 in a game short­ened to five innings Wednesday.

The Scots scored 12 in the first inning and didn’t look back. Win­ning pitcher Shayla Pierce and Cassie Brown com­bined to strike out six and walk two.

Offen­sively, High­land had a huge game. McKenzi Rhodes had a grand slam homer and two dou­bles, while Katie John­son added a solo home run and had mul­ti­ple hits.

Brown added a triple and dou­ble, while Pierce, Mikayla Robin­son and Hai­ley Moore all cracked doubles.

Unfor­tu­nately for High­land, they would lose the next evening to Big Wal­nut by a 5–4 mar­gin to end their tour­na­ment run.

Ear­lier, on last Monday, the Scots took a 10–0 five-inning win over Buck­eye Val­ley. High­land led 4–0 enter­ing the bot­tom of the fifth, where they scored six times to end the game.

Brown held the Barons to two hits as she struck out four in the game.

Offen­sively, the Scots mus­tered nine hits, with both Brown and Stew­art hav­ing dou­bles. Stew­art also had mul­ti­ple hits in the contest.
