<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BARBOURVILLE \u2014 Both Pineville, and Lynn Camp battled for eight innings before the Lady Mountain Lions captured their first 51st District title dating back to 2014 by outlasting the Lady Wildcats, 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game looked as if it were going to go to the ninth inning after Lynn Camp pitcher Jorja Carnes recorded the first two outs of the bottom of the eighth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that\u2019s when the game got interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Mountain Lions\u2019 Baileigh Bargo followed with a two-out double while Addison Slone was intentionally walked to out runners on first and second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pineville\u2019s Rachel Howard followed with a pop fly that was misplayed, allowing Bargo to score to give Pineville its first district crown in nine years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game turned into a pitcher\u2019s dual with Howard getting the win after allowing only eight hits, and one earned run in eight innings of work while striking out 11 batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lynn Camp\u2019s Carnes took the loss despite allowing only five hits, and one earned run while 11 batters in 7 2\/3 innings of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was a hard fought game from both teams,\u201d Lynn Camp coach Nikki Hendrix said. \u201cWe were able to hit the ball hard, but we wasn\u2019t able to string together hits together when we had runners in scoring position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJorja Carnes pitched a great game,\u201d \u201cShe got us out of several situations where Pineville could\u2019ve taken the lead. Chelsea Hendrickson and Julie Moore had great defensive games tonight as well. I\u2019m still proud of how hard my girls worked and how they didn\u2019t give up to the very end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Wildcats took a 1-0 lead in the first inning after Lily Henize scored on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lynn Camp held the lead until the third inning when the Lady Mountain Lions done some two-out damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carnes retired the first two batters she faced in the bottom of the third before Bargo reached base with a single, and Slone followed with a double that scored Bargo, and tied the game at one apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lily Henize, and Lauren Partin both had two hits apiece for the Lady Wildcats while Carnes, Emma Burnette, Allison Messer, and Julie Moore each had a hit apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bargo led Pineville with three hits, and two runs scored while Slone had a hit, and an RBI. Madalyn Capps also had a hit in the win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
