The Okaw Valley softball team defeated Villa Grove 10-3 to improve its record to 3-2 at Villa Grove/Heritage Friday.

“We came out flat on Friday against a good hitting Villa Grove team,” said Dave Benning. “However, I was impressed with our timely hitting especially by Natalie Jeffers, Kailyn Boyer, and Paige Robinson to tie the game and then put it away with three good rallies.”

VGH took a 2-0 lead before OV scored four runs in the third inning when Grace Harlin and Kayla Wheeler lead off the inning with back-to-back walks.

Natalie Jeffers hit a double down the left-field line to score Harlin and Wheeler to tie the game.

Paige Robinson walked and advanced to second when Jeffers stole bases on consecutive pitches.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
