Lady Pirates wrap season

RICHLAND–The Lady Pirates closed out the 2024 fast-pitch softball campaign with twin-bill losses to the Lady Patriots of Liberty Christian last Saturday, April 27 but not before Senior Pirate Hannah Bagby hammered a grand slam in her last Pirate at-bat. The Lady Patriots shut out the Pirates 16-0 in the opener and lost 14-4.

The team finishes in fifth place in the SE1B Wheat Division with an 1-11 league record and a 3-17 overall record. Colton landed on top with a 10-1, 13-3 record followed by Dayton with 9-2, 12-3.

Pomeroy's four points in the 14-4 second game against Liberty was special. "Hannay Bagby went out with a grand slam on her last at-bat as a senior," said Head Coach Lexi Beale.

In the opener, Liberty cranked out seven hits while playing errorless ball to blank the Lady Buccaneers 16-0. Pomeroy didn't get any hits and committed one error.

In the nightcap, Liberty whacked 11 hits and was charged with one error. The Lady Pirates had only two hits, one of those Bagby's grand slam, and were nipped with seven errors.
