The barn door for Worth County's girls softball team may have opened a crack as far as district seedings are concerned. The Tigers were down 3-0 after four innings when they scored two in the fourth and two in the fifth to beat Princeton 4-3 Tuesday night. The Tigers then hung by their fingernails to preserve the win. Haley Hunt was the winning pitcher and Merrideth Spiers drove in two runs for the Tigers. Worth County reversed the outcome of the North Harrison Tournament when they led 1-0 over Princeton only for the Blue Tigers to come back late and win.
Worth County only has six wins on the year so far. But two of those wins come against district opponents in Albany and Princeton. Worth County can make the case that since they won the one game they played against Albany 13-7 and since wins later in the season count more than losses early on, they can get the second or third seed behind North Harrison.
The Tigers only had three hits against Princeton, but they won by cleaning up their errors, only committing two that evening. By contrast, Princeton, which could do no wrong in the field earlier in the year, committed five.
