The Okaw Valley softball team won two games this week to further improve to 19-3 on the year.
Both games were scheduled on the fly due to scheduling conflicts with original opponents’ schedules. As a result, OV, rather than facing Neoga Wednesday, traveled to play Central A&M and came away with a 4-2 win.
“A&M is a tough opponent,” said head coach Dave Benning. “They play a predominantly 2A schedule, and they’re in a tough conference.”
Amanda McClain went all seven innings allowing two runs on seven hits, while striking out 10.
OV took a 2-0 lead in the first, but the Raiders cut the lead by one in the bottom frame. A&M would score their only other run in the second off of a solo home run, but OV posted a run apiece in both the fourth and fifth innings, thanks in part to a couple A&M errors.
OV did tally 10 hits on the night but also left five on base.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
