Diamond Recap | Hollidaysburg falls in District XI 5A Championship

BELLEFONTE, Pa (WTAJ) — Hollidaysburg took on Central Mountain in the District XI Class 5A Championship game in softball and lost 2-1 in nine innings. Maria Malone and Adalynn McKeague were both outstanding on the mound and each pitched a complete game.

Neither team could by a hit for the first two innings, however in the third the Golden Tigers broke through. A walk and hit by pitch put runners at first and second for A.J. Good and she singled to left for Hollidaysburg’s first hit to plate a run and give the Golden Tigers a 1-0 lead.

The score stayed 1-0 until the sixth. Central Mountain put a pair of runners on for Madison Hardy and she hit a grounder that bounced off the second baseman’s glove and the ball caromed all the way into left field to plate a run to tie the game at 1-1 to send it to extra innings.

Neither team scored in the eighth inning and the Golden Tigers didn’t score in their half of the ninth which set up the Wildcats with a chance to win it. Then Cora Myers stepped up and launched a moonshot to left field that landed well beyond the left field wall for a walkoff homer as Central Mountain won the District XI 5A Championship 2-1 over Hollidaysburg.
