Junior High Tigers Win Bryce Schafer's Softball Coaching Debut

Bryce Schafer has been coaching basketball since he joined the Worth County school district. Now, he is trying his hand at coaching softball; he played baseball collegiately. "They've been doing everything I asked them to and more," he said of his charges. On Tuesday, in Bethany, they got their first win, 12-8 over South Harrison after holding off a frantic Bulldog rally in the last inning.

Braidy Hunt was the winning pitcher for the Tigers, pitching in her first game as a 7th grader. Anna Gladstone pitched the fourth. Anna Spainhower was 2 for 2 for the Tigers; Kaylee McElvain and Merideth Spiers drove in two runs each. Jill Hardy and Morgan Beagle had one each.

South Harrison led 3-2 after one inning, but Worth County scored one in the second and three in the third to take a 6-3 lead. South Harrison closed to 6-5, but Worth County scored six in the top of the fourth before South Harrison tried to rally with three runs before falling short.
