Softball Recap: Tri-Valley Takes a Loss

Tri-Valley fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against New Philadelphia on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Quakers by a score of 5-4. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Quakers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 7-6 on Saturday.

Ashlyn Davis spent all 7.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits.

At the plate, Tri-Valley saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Delaney Bell, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.

Tri-Valley's loss dropped their record down to 0-2. New Philadelphia has started the season off flawlessly and has a 2-0 record to show for it.

Tri-Valley and New Philadelphia will both get their first taste of in-conference action in their upcoming games. Tri-Valley is set to take on their familiar foe Maysville at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, New Philadelphia will challenge rival Lexington at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
