JUDA - Sophomore Courtney Moisan and the Juda softball team had a flair for the dramatic as the Panthers came back and beat Belmont 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning Friday.

With the Panthers trailing 1-0 in the seventh, the offense came alive against Belmont, which was a state qualifier last year. Juda junior Megan Trotter reached on an error and went to second on a passed ball. Freshman Jessica Rackow then delivered a game-tying RBI single. After Rackow stole second, Moisan came through with a game-winning RBI single.

"It's fantastic coming against a high caliber team," Juda coach Bill Davis said. "It's a nice win for the program."

With the win, Juda improves to 1-1.

Sophomore Amber Ramos pitched a complete game one-hitter. She struck out 12, walked two and hit two.

"Amber Ramos threw a heck of a game," Davis said.

Albany (0-2) had four total hits with one each from sophomore Kaylee Johnson, junior Megan Farley and freshman Kirstie Kauk.

Sophomore Katie Krupke pitched four innings and struck out one.

In other action, Darlington lost to Shullsburg-Benton 10-3.
