Graham teams sweep Greenon

0

ST. PARIS – Graham pitcher and star slugger Madison Bryant was hit in the temple by an errant throw while warming up and was unable to play, but Graham still beat Greenon, 8-3, in CBC softball on Tuesday.

Bryant was struck by a Knights’ throw while the visitors warmed up and Bryant got extra pitches in along the baseline. Bryant’s prognosis is positive.

The injury rattled the Falcons, but the girls regrouped and got the win without Bryant, who is hitting better than .700 with 4 home runs in addition to her stellar pitching.

Alli Neeld was 2-for-3 with a double, Ashton Curnutte was 2-for-3 with 2 RBI, Madi VanScoy was 2-for-3 with a double and Mackenzie Smith was 2-for-4 with 2 RBI for Graham. Skylar Doroda got the win pitching.

“I’m pretty proud of them. They came together and they performed really well. Solid defense today and Skylar Doroda stepped up in the circle,” said Graham Coach Ralph Foster.

Graham (8-1, 4-0 CBC) will host Bellefontaine today.
