Runs proved hard to come by as top seeded Lyndonville dropped a narrow 2-1 decision to No. 4 Fillmore in the semifinal round of the Section V Class D softball playoffs this afternoon at Lyndonville.
Fillmore pitcher Mylee Miller helped her self at the plate by driving in both of the Eagles runs with RBI singles in the first and third innings. In the circle she allowed 4 hits and struck out 8.
Lyndonville pitcher Arnie Sturtevant likewise had a strong outing in the circle scattering 6 hits and striking out 7.
Lyndonville’s lone run came in the first inning on a single by Hannah Fox after Sturtevant had led off with a single. Alexa Robinson followed up with a double but was left stranded. Fox had 2 hits on the day.
Defensively, the Lady Tigers turned a double play in the fifth inning from shortstop Brooke Robinson to first baseman Isabella Groves to second baseman Rylan Townsend.
The Lady Tigers, which finish the season at 19-3, had just one hit after the first inning.
