Jenna Smith's Dash Around the Bases Propels Junior High Over Albany

The one Worth County team successful against Albany this week was the Junior High softball team, which beat the Warriors 3-2. The game was tied 2-2 in the sixth when Kaylee McElvain got on base. Jenna Smith, running for Kaylee, then stole second and third and came home when Merrideth Spiers hit a squib in front of the plate with two out. The first baseman dropped the throw, allowing Worth County to score the run and get ahead. "Those are battle games," said assistant coach Bryce Schafer. "We didn't play our best, but we got through it." The girls remained undefeated over the weekend as they subsequently won the King City Tournament.
