Softball Falls in First Round of Playoffs

WEB CAST.

Garner couldn't muster any offense on Tuesday night in round one of the State Playoffs as they fell to Wilmington Ashley 1-0 at Trojan Fied.

Ashley scored the loan run of the game in the top of the second off tough luck loser Christina Gower. With one out, Crystal Kliendinst singled and with two outs, Ashley put a pair of runners on base for their lead off hitter Annie Galizio who singled just over the leaping try of Meghan Strickland to plate the Eagles run.

Garner had their best scoring chance in the bottom of the fifth when Kimmie Stewart doubled for her second hit of the night to lead off the inning, however, Garner couldn't push her home as Maddy Stewart flew out to left and Halie Warner struck out trying to lay down a bunt, then Meghan Strickland sent a groundball deep in the hole at short that was fieled by the short stop Ashley Altman and she fired to first in time to get Strickland by half a step to retire Garner.

Neither team could muster any more offense on the night as Garner ends their season as co-champions of the Greater Neuse River Conference and a 17-4 record.
