Share Despite West Orange s district runner-up finish, the Warriors clinched a state playoff game by making it to the title game.
A seven-run explosion through the first two innings for East Ridge was too much to overcome for West Orange, as the Warriors fells 9-4 in the Class 7A, District 9 championship game Thursday, April 29.
The Warriors (15-12) would finally break through offensively in the top of the fourth with an RBI single by freshman Tabitha Perry to bring in junior Ailey Schyck making it 7-1. However, the Knights (19-7) would answer with two runs in the bottom of the inning to push the Knights lead to 9-1.
