Western Boone Jr. - Sr. High School

The Western Boone Lady Stars softball team traveled to Lebanon Wednesday evening to take on the Lady Tigers of Lebanon to attempt a series sweep and push their conference record to a perfect 4-0. While it wasn’t quite as comfortable as the previous evening the Stars did jus that getting the offense going early and hanging on to get the sweep with a 4-2 victory. Gabby Lewis again got the start and held the Tigers scoreless for 5 innings, she pitched 5 and 1/3 innings giving up 5 hits allowing 2 runs while striking out 1. Ally Lewis came in to get the save going 1 and 2/3 innings striking out 2 and walking 2. Kirstin McCormick came up with a big play in the bottom of the 7th with one out and the tying run at the plate McCormick made a diving catch in Left Field to hold the runner at first and put the Tigers down to their last out before Morganne Grant was able to haul in a pop fly at short for the final out. The Stars offense while not as hot as Tuesday evening was able to put 4 runs on the board 3 of which were in the first inning on consecutive RBIs by Morganne Grant, Mickey Burns and Ally Lewis. Gabby Lewis and Ally Lewis had 2 hits on the evening while Emma Shirley had 1 hit and 1 key reached on an error that started to first inning production. The Stars have earned a night off as they improved their record to 6-2 on the season and will host the McCutcheon Mavericks Friday evening at 5:30.
