Cochranton pushes FCVA to extra game
By Matthew Digiacomo
Kinter was phenomenal at the plate for Cochranton.
The catcher went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs and two RBIs. Clulow, who started the game on the bench, went 2-for-3 with three runs and a pair of RBIs. Jackson scored three times and McKenzie Hawley scored twice.
Jackson was also stellar on the hill. She went all six innings, allowing four hits, four walks and three earned runs. She struck out seven in the win.
For Cochranton, Gregory led the offense with two RBIs.
“They have worked hard to get here,” said Offi of her team. “They will come back Monday ready to play.”
FCVA will have ace starter Becca Siple available for Monday’s final. Siple was the winning pitcher in the winner’s bracket final on Thursday. Siple also had the game-winning inside-the-park homer.
With Jackson unavailable, Cochranton will go with Dickson or Dunn.
“(Dickson and Dunn) each pitched a little on Friday,” said Wyant. “So we will start one of them. We saw Siple on Thursday, and (FCVA) hasn’t seen either (Dunn or Dickson). So we’ll see how it turns out.”
