Pine Forest Cooled Off By Jay
February 17, 2013
The Pine Forest softball team couldn’t get anything going Saturday, as the pitching of Jay junior Sydney Lowery and the cold, windy weather cooled off the Lady Eagles’ bats in an 11-1 victory.
Lowery, who pitched Jay to the state championship game last season, struck out 11 and allowed just four hits and two walks.
Pine Forest (2-2) actually jumped out quickly, as Rebecca Rudd and Aleecia Ybarra singled to open the game. After back-to-back strikeouts, Kellie Payne singled to right field to drive in Rudd and give the Lady Eagles the early lead. But Pine Forest got only one more hit off Lowery — a fifth-inning single by Rudd.
Jay (1-1) tied the game in the bottom of the first thanks to a couple of errors, then added three in the third and fourth innings before finishing the game with four in the fifth.
Sophomore Brooke Lauter took the loss in her first varsity start. The lefty allowed 10 hits and four walks but only six earned runs as her defense committed four errors.
The Pine Forest junior varsity (3-1) suffered its first loss, 5-4, earlier in the day.
