The Blair Oaks Lady Falcons’ offense was rolling from the first pitch. Blair Oaks scored six runs in the first inning on the way to a 12-0 win in five innings against the Capital City Lady Cavaliers on Tuesday at Capital City High School.
Just before the bottom of the seventh inning began, the timer went off to signal the time limit had been reached for the fifth-place game of the Lady Jays Classic. But the game wasn’t over until Morgan Luebbering said so. Luebbering came off the bench and smacked a two-out single up the middle, scoring Kenzie Libbert from second base to give the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons a 3-2 walk-off victory Saturday afternoon against the Father Tolton Lady Trailblazers at Binder Park.
It was ace against ace. But some days, the hitters have their say. Kendyll Rackers hit a one-out RBI double in the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday to send the Helias Lady Crusaders to a 6-5 victory against the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons at the American Legion Post 5 Sports Complex.
Blair Oaks coach Sharon Buschjost was feeling lonely in the third-base coach’s box for the first four innings Tuesday night. Then, in the fifth and sixth innings, nearly every batter stopped by third base to keep her company.
WARDSVILLE The Blair Oaks Lady Falcons are making it a habit to finish their softball seasons with an appearance in the Final Four.
Last year was no exception, but capping 2021 with the program’s second state championship had a nice ring to it.
