LIVE WEBCAST
While it may sound cliche, you can throw the records out the window when Garner and West Johnston get together in softball and tonight the theory holds true again. Christie Wright and Lexi Betancourt go toe to toe at Trojan Field as the Lady Trojans pull ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI double by Christie Wright which scores Mary-Scott Powell .
This comes just two innings after Christie Wright appears to be safe at home as the ball fell out of the glove of Marissa Hackney but the umpire calls her out at the plate and the game remains scoreless.
In the top of the seventh, West Johnston tries to rally as Kelsey Langley leads off with a single and takes second on a wild pitch. She would then advance to third on a fly out to center. Wright then strikes out Kara Baughman for the second out before Brittany Doty lined out to Ashley Carroll to end the game. The win moves Garner to 13-1 on the season as they travel to West Johnston tomorrow night for a 7:00 first pitch.
