When you look at the boxscore and see the name K. Moore, you think the K stands for Keegan.
Well, it does but it could easily stand for the symbol that represents a strikeout.
“Strike out” Moore was at it again on Friday as the Ironton Lady Fighting Tigers downed the Coal Grove Lady Hornets 5-1 in an Ohio Valley Conference game.
Coming off a one-hitter in which she struck out a school record 20 batters, Moore fanned 17 batters as she threw a 6-hitter. She did not walk a batter.
Moore threw 94 pitches of which 79 were strikes.
Kaleigh Murphy threw well in a losing effort. In 6 innings of work, Murphy gave up 8 hits, 5 earned runs, struck out 8 and walked 4.
Ironton (10-2, 7-1) took a 3-0 lead in the first inning keyed by Bella Sorbilli’s 2-run double.
Sorbilli was 2-3 with the double and 2 RBI. Emily Weber went 1-4, Graycie Brammer, Katelyn Moore and Keegan Moore 1-3, Aubrey Ferguson 1-2 and an RBI and Braylin Wallace 1-2 with a double.
Jaden McComas was 2-3 with a double to pace Coal Grove. Jordyn Dale was 1-3 with a double, Abbie Deeds 1-3 with an RBI, and Ellie Delawder and Murphy were 1-3.
