Softball rallies at White Co.

Warren County’s high school softball team picked up its second district win of the season in dramatic fashion Tuesday, rallying with a four-run seventh to top White County on the road, 4-1.

Trailing from the opening inning, when the Warriorettes scored what would prove to be their only run, the Lady Pioneers began their comeback when Christy Perry led off the seventh with a single and took second on a passed ball. Brittany Locke struck out for the first out of the inning, but Taylor Hennessee singled to tie the game, bringing Perry in to score.

A Brooke Bowman fly ball accounted for the second out of the inning, but Linnsay Williamson tripled to right, bringing home Hennessee from first, and scored on a Katie Rogers double to left field.

Kayley Murray followed with another double, this time up the middle, bringing home Rogers with the Lady Pioneers’ final run.

Kaitom Tanner, who pitched a complete game for Warren County, found herself in a jam in the bottom of the seventh, as White County’s first two batters reached on errors. But the Warriorettes’ leadoff hitter was caught trying to swipe third, their next batter grounded to first base and the final out came when Tanner coaxed a ground ball to third, ending the game.

Tanner finished with a four-hitter, walking just two batters and striking out one. At the plate, Warren County was led by Rogers, Mary Kate Fisher and Perry, who had two hits each, while Bowman, Williamson, Murray, Bethni McGuire and Hennessee also collected hits.

The Lady Pioneers were scheduled to be in action last night against Siegel in another District 7-AAA contest.
