BEAVERS SCORE FIRST VICTORY

Beaver Local softball,in search of their first victory of the season, wanted nothing more than to get that elusive win against arch rival East Liverpool. The Beavers were all business as they pounded out 12 hits en route to a 9-2 road win on Wednesday.

The Red and White wasted little time as Olivia Keller would double and Lauren Piscitelli would follow that with a 2-run homerun giving the Beavers an early 2-0 lead.  Clinging to a 2-1 lead in the 3rd the Beavers would separate themselves from their opponent. Oliva Keller and Halle Jordan would each add an RBI double, while Lora Reeder contributed an RBI single increasing the lead to 5-1.

That lead was all that Beaver Local Keller (7IP,14K,1H) would need in the circle going the distance allowing zero earned runs on one hit.  Halle Jordan dazzled at the plate going 4-4 with 4 RBI in the Beavers victory.

Delani Ice contributed the lone hit for the Potters.    Beaver Local (1-6) will take that momentum with them as they visit Union Local on Thursday.
