Capital City pitcher Lydia Coulson is working her way back to 100 percent.
The all-state senior right-hander, who has committed to play at the University of Central Florida, struck out nine batters Saturday in a 5-0 win against the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons to open Day 2 of the Lady Jays Classic at Binder Park.
In the end, it was a victory. And that’s the most important takeaway. “We got the first one out of the way,” Capital City coach Brett Skinner said Monday after the Lady Cavaliers topped the Battle Spartans 6-3 in Central Missouri Activities Conference softball action at Capital City High School.
The Capital City Lady Cavaliers have set the standard. Now they are ready to take the next step. The Lady Cavaliers have won more than 20 games each of the past three softball seasons, but a district championship has eluded the program through its first four seasons.
