Beavercreek, West Carrollton softball win nail-biters

The Beavercreek girls softball team won a nail-biter on Tuesday night as the Beavers squeaked past visiting Miamisburg 13-12. Freshman Cierra Chastain earned the win in the season opener and got some offensive help from Kayla Dinsmore, who tripled, homered, and drove in 5 runs. Miamisburg made a valiant comeback in the top of the seventh, scoring 5 runs and had the winning run on base before Chastain induced an infield popup to end the game. The Vikings got a pair of two-run homers from Tess Corley and Chevy Hayslett.

West Carrollton 12, Carlisle 11: Freshman Madison Mills belted a three-run home run, drove in 5 runs, and picked up her first win as the Pirates survived a back-and-forth affair. In a game that saw seven lead changes, West Carrollton's Brooke Jewell ended it with a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the seventh that plated Abby Tincher for the game-winner. Jewell also homered and double twice earlier in the contest, driving in a total of 4 runs. Carlisle was led by Morgan Glover who had three hits and an RBI, and Lilli Collins added a pair of singles and 2RBIs.
