Calvary Day pitcher Jessica Ginn and Savannah Country Day’s Savannah Draud battled through seven scoreless innings of regulation before the visiting Cavaliers scored three runs in the eighth for a 3-0 softball victory Thursday.
Ginn finished with an eight-inning shutout, strikeout out 15 batters while walking none and yielding three hits. Draud struck out 12 with three walks and five hits in a tough loss.
In the top of the eighth, Calvary placed baserunner Taylor Rice at second under international tiebreaker rules. She went to third on Morgan Sterrett’s infield single and scored on Miranda Arrington’s double.
Sydney Wilson grounded a ball to the pitcher, ultimately leading to Sterrett being tagged out at home. Arrington and Wilson scored on Ansley Brown’s line-drive single to right.
