Saturday was a busy day for Southeast District Softball and Baseball tournament action.

It was district championship day for Division 3 Softball at Unioto High School, which will also host the D-3 Regionals next weekend.

In Game #1 of the day, Wheelersburg whipped Wellston 10-2 to win the upper bracket championship.

Andi Jo Howard fired a complete game on the mound for the win and went 2/3 at the plate, scoring 3 of their 10 runs. Macee Eaton was 3/4 with 2 RBI’s while Kiera Kennard was 2/3 with 2 RBI’s.

Wheelersburg improves to (24-1) and advances to the D -3 Regional Semis vs East District Champ Tuscarawas Valley at 5pm May 26th at Unioto High School.

In Game #2, number 2 seed Ironton grabbed an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning over Adena, and held that lead until the Lady Warriors scored twice in the fifth to even the score 2-2.

But, the Lady Tigers pushed a run across the plate in the last of the sixth inning when Katelyn Moore put them up 3-2 with a sacrifice fly, which would hold up as the final score.

Ironton advances to the 2pm Regional Semi against Westfall, also at Unioto HS.

The Lady Mustangs advanced to the final with an 10-0 win over Portsmouth. Westfall scored three of their runs in the first inning as both teams were shutout until the Lady Mustangs broke the game open with seven runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Both teams stranded runners throughout the game, including at least twice when the Lady Trojans stranded runners at second and third.

Olivia Dumm gets the shutout win for Westfall. Delana Landefeld was one of four Lady Mustangs with multiple base hits, going 4/4.
