Oak Harbor softball returning to state final four
FINDLAY — As the Oak Harbor softball team sang a rendition of “Happy Birthday” from the dugout, senior shortstop Reese Adkins deposited the ball over the fence, setting off a celebration that was part birthday party and part coronation. The home run put Oak Harbor ahead of West Jefferson 8-2 in what was eventually a 12-2, five inning victory in the Division III softball regional final. The Rockets are making their second trip to the final four in the past three seasons. “I can’t even believe what’s going on. I can’t even breathe. I don’t know what to say,” said Adkins, who had three hits and scored three runs. “It’s a really good experience, especially to go back. I never would have thought [we’d get back]. But this team, we are so gelled together.” Sixth-ranked Oak Harbor (26-2) started the game with three consecutive singles, and then Ava Geyer forced a walk on an 11-pitch at-bat to load the bases. Another walk put the Rockets up 1-0. Adkins scored the second run on a wild pitch.
