Softball: Seneca falls in district title game

ROGERSVILLE, Mo. — Seneca’s softball season ended on Saturday after a 16-1 setback to Logan-Rogersville in the championship game of the Class 3 District 4 tournament.
Rogersville (27-6) advanced to play Sullivan (18-9) in the quarterfinals on Oct. 21.
Top-seeded Rogersville pushed across three runs in the first and then erupted for 10 runs in the second inning.
Seventh-seeded Seneca scored once in the third, as Kayla French singled to right, stole second and scored Emily Askren’s RBI single into right.
Unfortunately for the Indians, those singles were the team’s only hits of the game.
The Wildcats added three more runs in the bottom of the third to end the game early due to the run-rule.
Sierra Lannon was charged with the loss. She allowed six earned runs. The Indians committed six errors.
Meghan Hager drove in four runs on two hits for Rogersville, while Cassidy Coambes hit two home runs. Halle Miles was the winning pitcher. She struck out seven and gave up just the two hits.
Seneca advanced to the district title game by beating third-seeded Ava 8-5 on Friday night.
French, Askren and Lannon had two hits apiece, while Kaydin McKnight drove in two runs. Maci Brown doubled.
Lannon earned the pitching victory, striking out four and scattering six hits.
