Worth County had only three hits against Makena Moffat and the Warriors in the loss. Audrey Runde had two of those hits and Kambree Briner got the other hit. The difference in the game was errors; Worth County committed four and Albany committed none. Moffat, who pitched a six inning perfect game against East Harrison the night before and struck out 13, only struck out five Tigers, but Worth County was hitting the ball right at people again. Moffat only needed 76 pitches, 55 of which were strikes.
The path for a shared title remained open narrowly Thursday. On a night with a bunch of rainouts, Stanberry and King City got their game in, with King City unloading on Stanberry 13-5 behind two home runs by Kinley Potter. The Wildkats have scored nine or more runs in their last four games. That handed Stanberry its second conference loss, and only Albany and Princeton now have one loss.
Albany and Princeton's game was postponed to September 24th. Albany plays North Harrison September 23rd. If Albany loses to North Harrison, then turns around and beats Princeton, then Worth County shares the title assuming they win out. Princeton has a home game with North Andrew on September 23rd. Another scenario could be Princeton losing to North Andrew and then turning around and beating Albany to hand Worth County a shared title. It is not mathematically possible for Worth County to win an outright title anymore since both Princeton and Albany have one conference loss, both still have to play each other, and both have two conference games left.
Stanberry can join the mix as well if they beat Pattonsburg on September 23rd and one of the above scenarios play out.
Worth County was leading Pattonsburg 5-0 after three Thursday when play was suspended due to rain.
