LOCAL ROUNDUP Ayers pitches Eagles past Grizzlies Sophomore tosses three-hitter as EP claims MWL win Comment By Staff reports DailyTidings.com By Staff reports Posted May. 13, 2015 at 2:00 AM By Staff reports Posted May. 13, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News EAGLE POINT — Megan Ayers was effective inside the circle and at the plate for the Eagle Point softball team Tuesday. The sophomore pitcher tossed a three-hit complete game and drove in four runs as the Eagles defeated Ashland, 7-3, in a Midwestern League contest that had to be moved to the Eagles junior varsity diamond due to unplayable conditions at the varsity field. "It was one of those days we had to overcome a lot of unexpected things," said Eagle Point coach John White, whose team is in position to finish third in the league. "Basically if we can win the last two league games, it should put us in a position to be ranked high enough to host a state play-in game." Eagle Point (17-5, 11-5 MWL) completes league play with a Friday doubleheader at last-place Springfield (1-20, 0-16). Ayers struck out nine and walked none to improve to 15-5 on the season. Ayers provided an RBI single in the third inning, a three-run double an inning later and scored on Tiffani Mitchell's triple to give the Eagles a 7-2 lead. Paige Leeper and Kylene Briggs each had two hits for Eagle Point. "The top of our lineup was instrumental in getting things going," said White. "We played solid softball." For Ashland (14-10, 8-8), Teresa Lehman collected two hits and Grace Lenthe smacked a solo home run. Ashland 100 101 0 — 3 3 2 Eagle Point 000 340 x — 7 9 3 Williams and Lehman; Ayers and Grady.
