Coudersport 8, Johnsonburg 7, 8 innings

COUDERSPORT — Johnsonburg presumably thought its 7-2, seventh-inning lead was safe, and enough to be victorious.

But Coudersport had other plans in the bottom half of that inning. Kaylee VanWhy smacked a two-run double to right field. She then stole third and scored on an error to bring the Lady Falcons to within two. A few batters later, Ava Wahlers ripped a two-run single to right field to tie the game at seven.

In extra innings, Johnsonburg went down quickly. The Lady Falcons walked off winners, 8-7, after a Rosalyn Page RBI double in the bottom half of the extra frame, completing a late comeback.

Johnsonburg sped off to a 6-2 lead, scoring at least one run in each of the first four innings. The Lady Rams added what they had hoped to be an insurance run in the seventh inning.

Savannah Meyers pitched eight innings for the Falcons. She was responsible for 10 hits, seven runs (all of them earned), seven walks and two strikeouts.

Coudersport improved to 3-2 with the exciting, extra-innings victory.
