BETHEL – In a back and forth slugfest, the Blanchester softball team found a way to come out on top Friday night.

The Ladycats scored the winning run in the ninth inning on Noelani Tangonan’s sacrifice fly in a 10-9 victory over Bethel-Tate in SBAAC National Division action.

Blanchester is 2-0 on the year, both games being against division rivals.

“We got production from everyone in the lineup,” BHS coach Jamey Grogg said. “This was just a good, old-fashioned slugfest and we found a way to win.”

Blanchester led 6-1 then trailed 7-6, led 9-7 and then was tied 9-9.

In the ninth inning, Hannah Mann was hit by a pitch and stole second to start the inning. Morgan Oberle singled to left before Savannah Shank reached on an error to load the bases. Tangonan then lifted a flyball to left that allowed Mann to score the game-winner.

Maddie Curless worked out of a jam in the bottom of the ninth to preserve the victory.

“Maddie was a real warrior on the mound,” Grogg said.
