Boyd County 16

Fairview 0

CANNONSBURG Caitlin Coburn pitched for the first time in a year, and while she only faced seven batters, Boyd County Geoff Stewart was pleased with that as much as anything else as his Lady Lions routed Fairview on Tuesday.

“She looked really sharp,” Stewart said. “It was her first look in almost a year.”

Boyd County (3-0) racked up 12 runs in the second inning alone as it put away Fairview in four innings.

Of the Lady Lions’ 18 hits, just one was for extra bases — Taylor Wheeler tagged a double.

Kaitlin Brown was 3-for-3 with three runs scored, while Wheeler (three RBIs), Nicole Goins (two RBIs) and Taylor Newsome (two RBIs) had three hits apiece.

Stephanie May and Bri Crooks tallied two hits apiece.
