Kendell Wylie wasn’t her typical dominating self in the pitching circle, but she more than made up for it at the plate.
Wylie hit two home runs and drive in five as the North Fort Myers High School softball team hung on to defeat Charlotte 9-8 in the District 5A-8 championship game in Punta Gorda Friday for the Red Knights’ fifth consecutive district crown.
Actually, hung on for dear life would be more accurate, as the Tarpons came back from an 8-2 deficit by scoring four in the sixth and, after North got one back in the top of the seventh, scored two more and had the tying run on base before a pop up ended the game.
