4/25 Recap vs Danville The Western Boone Lady Stars proved their mettle in an epic comeback twice Thursday evening to earn a series sweep of the Danville Warriors 15-10.

The Stars answered back scoring 6 in the top of the 2nd highlighted with back-to-back doubles by Kirstin McCormick and Emma Shirley.

With time running short and down by 4 the Stars mounted their second comeback scoring 4 on RBI hits by Mickey Burns and Kenzlei Mathews to knot things up at 10 going to the bottom of the 6th inning. The Warriors threatened in their half of the 6th after another error but ultimately were held scoreless in the inning by relief pitcher Burns and a stellar defensive play by Ally Lewis. The Stars bats stayed hot taking the lead on a two out, two RBI single by Burns and added to the lead on a fielder’s choice by Ally Lewis two batters later and added two more for insurance on a line drive single by Dottie Wilson.
