Sophomore pinch hitter Mariah Zavala got a bloop, two-out single in the top of the eighth inning to drive in the go ahead run Tuesday night to give LC a 3-2 lead over Chattooga in the nightcap of a playoff doubleheader at Aldora Field. Cayla Bishop then walloped a towering, three-run home run off the scoreboard in left center field to make it 6-2. LC went on to win it 6-3.
Paired with a 6-0 win in the first game, LC advanced to round two of the state playoffs next week.
The Trojans got a Herculean effort from pitcher Brinkley Yevak who went the distance in both games despite being hit in the hand by a pitch in her first at bat of the day. Though badly bruised and obviously in pain, Yevak pitched 15 innings, allowing only six hits and striking out 11.
