Softball squad comes up empty against Oakland

Originally scheduled for Tuesday but canceled due to rain, the Lady Pioneer softball team traveled to Murfreesboro Oakland on Wednesday. Warren County picked up five hits on the night, but failed to score as the Lady Patriots defeated Warren County 3-0.

Warren County picked up its first hit in the top of the third from Kayley Murray, but she was left stranded. A lead-off double by Oakland in the bottom of the inning and a fielders choice added with a wild pitch put the Lady Patriots on top 2-0.

In the fourth Katie Rogers doubled to with one out, but once again the Lady Pioneers failed to advance the runner. In the bottom of the inning Oakland put three runners on base off of one hit and two errors sending one run across the plate for a 3-0 lead.

Kaylay Hubbard doubled in the fifth, Ashlee Malone singled in the sixth and Emily Smith added a single in the seventh to record the Lady Pioneers hits on the night.
