LOCAL ROUNDUP Ashland drops eight-inning pitchers' duel Williams fans 12, but Grizzlies struggle against Burke Comment By Joe Zavala Ashland Daily Tidings DailyTidings.com By Joe Zavala Ashland Daily Tidings Posted Apr. 22, 2015 at 2:00 AM By Joe Zavala Ashland Daily Tidings Posted Apr. 22, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News Shawna Burke struck out 16 batters in eight shutout innings to win an epic pitchers’ duel against Georgia Williams as Marist beat Ashland 2-0 in Midwestern League softball action Tuesday at North Mountain Park. Blanked by Williams on five hits through the first seven innings, Marist finally broke through in the eighth when Kristen Behrends led off with a double and Anne Yates followed with a single. Both scored on wild pitches. Williams escaped further damage with three straight strikeouts to bring her total to 12 and leave the bases loaded, but Ashland (10-6, 4-4 MWL) couldn’t mount a rally against Burke in the bottom half. Burke allowed four hits and walked three for the Spartans (13-3, 7-2), who have won six straight. She struck out the first eight batters she faced and didn’t allow a hit until Ashland leadoff hitter Teresa Lehman led off the fourth with a double to left-center field. Lehman was left stranded at third. Williams gave up eight hits and five walks and escaped another bases-loaded jam in the sixth by striking out Yates. Ashland had runners in scoring position in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, but left them stranded each time. Anay Philpott was 2-for-3, while Lehman and Carlee Conner had one hit apiece to lead the Grizzlies at the plate. Burke was 3-for-4 and Lauren Burke 2-for-4 for Marist.
