AID — The Symmes Valley Lady Vikings hung tough for as long as they could.

But the Lady Vikings couldn’t get any offense going as the Brunswick Lady Blue Devils managed to score 4 runs late in order to get a 5-0 win Saturday in the Valley of Thunder.

Brunswick got a run in the first Faith Vicek singled, Maddie O’Malley sacrificed her to second and Morgan Kinney had an RBI single.

The score remained the same until the sixth.

Katie O’Malley reached on an error, Emily Savage singled, Maddy Hicks and Elena Osowski each hit into a fielder’s choice but Kourtney Abshire had a 2-run double.

The final runs scored in the seventh.

Vicek singled, Maddie O’Malley and Kinney reached on errors and two outs later Katie O’Malley singled in 2 runs.
