The Lady Knights Softball took Wednesday's game in dramatic fashion, with a 4-3 walk-off victory over Martinsville. The game was tied at three in the bottom of the seventh when Addison Roos singled, scoring one run. Then in last night’s game at home, the Lady Knights piled up 10 hits in the game. Lily Summers led the team with three hits in three at bats. Lily Enger, Addison Roos, Ellie Schlieper, and Lily Summers each drove in one run each on the day.
Blue Ridge Varsity Knights play at home on TONIGHT against Tri-County. Good Luck Lady Knights!
