(Leadwood) West County erupted for eight runs in the first inning of their 11-1 win over Central on Monday. The Bulldogs sent 12 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first, in which they saw three different Rebel pitchers, and five different Bulldogs recorded an RBI in the first…

The top five hitters in West County’s order (Gracie Wright, Jacy Tongay, Morgan Simily, Reese Smith and Alexis Hedgcorth) went a combined 9-for-10 with 10 runs batted in. Simily was 3-for-3 with four runs batted in and hit her second home run of the season. Coach CJ Wright says his team executed their game plan well…

Gracie Wright threw five innings of one-hit ball and struck out eight batters.

Alex Neff provided a steady presence in the circle for Central, tossing 3 1/3 innings, yielding four hits and three earned runs with two strikeouts. Central coach Taylor Geile gave a lot of credit to the opposing pitcher, but she could see the energy in her team dying down after the first inning…

West County improves to 9-3 on the year and are in position to have the three seed in the MAAA conference tournament next week. Central evens its record at 3-3.
