Softball comes back AGAIN to defeat GTown
5/8/14
This game was another slugfest. Both teams once again hit the ball extremely well and
we found a way to come out with the win. After falling behind 3-0, we put together a great 4th inning and scored 9 runs, 8 of them were scored with 2 outs. Georgetown then scored 2 in the 5th single and went to second on a throwing error. She then went to third on a past ball.
At that point, Savana Greene hit a deep fly ball to center for a sac fly that proved to be the game winning RBI. Makayla Shank and Mackenzie Curless led the way at the plate collecting 2 hits and scoring 2 runs each. Autumn Leasher and Brooke Jones each once again did a great job on the mound. Overall, this was a complete team victory as every girl played and contributed to the win. - Coach Grogg

Ladycats bounce back beat Goshen 10-0
4/21/14
This was good bounce back win for us tonight. After Saturday’s tough loss to East Clinton, I wasn’t sure how the girls would respond today. But, as I have told them before, you have to have a short memory in sports and focus on the next game and they did that tonight. Mackenzie Curless led the offense, going 4 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 runs scored. Brooke Jones went 3 for 3 with 2 RBI’s, Savanna Brown was 3 for 4 with a double, RBI, and 3 runs scored, and Cierra White was 2 for 4 with 2 RBI’s. Our defense was solid all night long, as we did not commit any errors and made several nice plays to take away hits. Makayla Shank played really well at shortstop tonight, making several nice plays. Brooke Jones pitched another great game scattering 6 hits over 6 innings and not giving up a run. - Coach Grogg
Record 6-3 (2-2).

Ladycats Pummel Amelia 15-2
4/17/14
This was a complete team victory tonight. Every girl somehow, someway did something to contribute to the win. After being shut out in our last 2 games, it was nice to see the bats come alive tonight. Savanna Brown led the way going 3-4 with 2 home runs, 7 RBI’s and 3 runs scored. Cierra White and Savana Greene each also had 2 hits and 2 RBI’s. Makayla Shank also had 2 hits and 3 runs scored.
Defensively, we once again had more errors than I would like, but we came up with big plays when needed. On the mound, after getting off to a rough start, (4 of Amelia’s 8 hits came in the first inning), Autumn Leasher really settled down and threw very well to get her 4th win of the season. - Coach Grogg

Ladycats Pound out 14 hits, Beat Batavia 6-0
4/18/14
After the way we hit last night, I was a little concerned that the girls would come out over anxious and not be as focused at the plate, but fortunately, that didn’t happen. Makayla Shank led the way, going 3 for 3 with 2 runs scored. Savanna Brown continued to hit well, going 2 for 3 with 2 doubles, 2 RBI’s and 2 runs scored. Cassie Griffin and Abby Wilson also had 2 hits each. What I was most pleased with though, was that every girl in the line-up had at least 1 hit tonight. Defensively, we were once again solid. We did have two errors, but those were the result of girls being aggressive and trying to make plays and I can live with that. On the mound, Brooke Jones pitched 7 solid innings to get her first win of the season. - Coach Grogg
Record 5-2 (2-2).

Leasher blanks Lady Astros in 12-0 BHS win
Autumn Leasher tossed a three-hitter and Blanchester pounded out 14 hits in a 12-0 win Monday over East Clinton in a non-league softball game.
Leasher pitched five innings, allowing three hits and four walks. She struck out seven and hit one batter in earning her first career varsity victory.
On defense, Blanchester did not commit any errors, Grogg said. “If we want to give ourselves a chance to be successful, we cannot afford to give teams extra outs,” he said.
