Boyd girls split with Community

Cassie Wanamaker delivers a pitch during Boyd?s twin bill against Community High School Thursday.

Boyd was originally scheduled to open the year on Tuesday against Webb, but due to rain the game had to be canceled.

So the Lady Broncos open with a District 9-A game against the Lady Vikings. The two teams battled for seven innings as the game ended 0-0. The International tie-breaker rule went into effect, but because of darkness the game will be settled when Boyd travels to Community on April 10, with the teams using the International rule to complete the game.

In action Thursday both teams picked up just two hits. Leah Walker connected in the bottom of the fifth for Boyd and Tosha Young singled in the bottom of the seventh with two outs as the Lady Broncos had a chance to win the game, but the next batter grounded to first as the game was called because of darkness.

Cassie Wanamaker worked all seven innings for the Lady Broncos. Wanamaker faced 25 Lady Vikings giving up just two hits and five walks, while fanning 10 batters.

For the Lady Vikings Cindy Warrick gave up two hits, four walks and struck out eight Lady Broncos in seven innings of work.

Boyd was scheduled to travel to Upperman on Saturday and will be back home on Tuesday to face Grundy County at 4 p.m.
