JUDA — Brynn Harris allowed just one run on one hit and Adrionna Ubersox drove in what proved to be the winning run in the third inning as Argyle-Black Hawk edged Juda-Albany 2-1 in Six Rivers Conference softball on Tuesday, May 19.
Harris pitched a complete game one-hitter with one walk and six strikeouts to out-perform Ryleigh Brown of Jubany, who allowed just two runs on four hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
The Orioles got two runs in the third inning after Brianna Wilhelmson singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Sam Kammes, who reached on a throwing error by the Panthers. That allowed Wilhelmson to score. Jerzey Wiegel came into the game as a courtesy runner for Kammes. After an intentional walk to Kylie Butler, Claire Holmes put down a sacrifice to advance Wiegel to third and Butler to second. Ubersox followed with a base hit to left to score Wiegel and give ABH a 2-0 lead.
Jubany scored one run in the bottom of the third as Emersen Butts reached base on an error and scored on an error on a ball hit by Phoenix Homan. Harris slammed the door on the Panthers after that, retiring 14 batters in a row.
Argyle-Black Hawk coach Heidi Ganshert said it was a high-quality win for her team and they don’t come easy.
