Ona, W.Va. – The No. 1 team met its match. Parkersburg South, ranked No. 1 in the West Virginia Class AAA poll, ran into Tara Layne and the South Point Lady Pointers.

The game’s only run scored in the fourth.

With one out, Whitney Morrison reached on an error and Sarah Baise bunted for a hit and Morrison went to third on the play.

Baise stole second but the next batter struck out. Lewis then came through with a line single to right-center.

Lewis and Morrison were 1-for-1 and Basie 1-3.

In the first game, South Point beat Richwood 3-2 behind Layne’s four-hitter.
