Lady Pioneers fall at Manchester

Monday night in Manchester the Lady Pioneer softball team was hoping to avenge an earlier loss to Coffee County in non-district action. But the Lady Red Raiders spoiled Warren County?s hopes by defeating the Lady Pioneers 3-0.

Lindsey Duncan and Kristin Swan combined to shut out the Lady Pioneers, allowing one hit each. Brittany Ferrell worked five innings for WCHS, giving up three hits and one run while facing 22 batters. LeAnne Smith worked one inning allowing five hits and three runs.

Warren County had a chance to take an early lead in the top of the second, when Katie Rogers singled up the middle. Nikki Poe was hit by a pitch, and Emily Smith hit into a fielder?s choice. But Penny Wanamaker and Brooke Bowman popped to right field to end Warren County?s chances.

In the bottom of the inning Nichole McWhorter singled to lead things off for Coffee County. The Lady Raiders moved the runner to second after a bunt attempt and the throw ended up in center field scoring McWhorter.

In the top of the sixth Warren County picked up its second hit of the game when Kayley Murray doubled with one out, but the Lady Pioneer would be left stranded.

In the bottom of the sixth Coffee County sent two runs to the plate after a one-out walk, a single by McCormick and a double by Shelby Davis.

Warren County went down in order for the fourth time in the game in the top of the seventh.

The Lady Pioneers were scheduled to take on Siegel at home on Tuesday.
