RC Shuts Out PM In Softball, 22-0
With a dominant pitching and hitting performance, the Rockbridge County High School softball team coasted to a 22-0 road win over local rival Parry McCluer on Tuesday of last week in Buena Vista.
The game was similar to the previous showdown between the two teams, when the Wildcats beat the Blues 17-0 on March 26 in Lexington. RC would end the week at 7-3 overall, while the Blues would wrap up the week at 3-8.
In the rematch, RC senior pitcher Sadie Moore held PM to just one hit, a double in the fifth by Patience Hill, while striking out nine and allowing no walks in the shutout.
At the plate, Moore led the Wildcats with five hits and six RBIs, hitting an inside-thepark- home run in the third inning, and RC racked up 24 hits. Brooke Hostetter and Gracie Pelter each recorded four hits for the Wildcats, while Kayleigh Rosson had three hits. Contributing two hits each were Page Wright, Willow Rogers and Landrey Campbell.
The Wildcats spread their runs throughout the five innings. RC scored two runs in the first, eight in the second, five in the third, two in the fourth, and another five in the fifth.
Freshman Caroline Watts pitched for PM, striking out three while allowing six walks. Only one of the Wildcats’ runs was unearned. PM committed one error, while RC had none.
