Barnesville 11, Shenandoah 2

SHENANDOAH – It was a prodigious night for the Shamrock’s Abby Johnson during Barnesville’s lopsided win Tuesday over the Zeps.

Johnson finished a triple shy of the cycle and collected five RBI to lead the ‘Rocks. The shortstop’s double and home run were the only extra-base hits of the evening for Barnesville. Peyton Loudin finished with three RBI for a very productive day in her own right.

Loudin also picked up the win on the mound, pitching four innings with four strikeouts. Johnson pitched three scoreless frames to close out the game, striking out three.

Shenandoah committed four errors Tuesday. Barnesville scored five runs in the seventh inning after getting out to a 6-0 lead following the second inning.
