Ashland splits with West Albany ASHLAND - Ashland salvaged a split of a non-conference softball doubleheader against West Albany Thursday thanks to the heroics of Stephanie Hargis. West Albany won the opener, 5-0, at North Mountain Park, then the Grizzlies captured the nightcap, 2-1. In Game 2, Hargis ripped a two-run single in the first inning to account for both Grizzly runs, then made a spectacular catch in the third inning to preserve the lead. In the first inning, Hanna Elliott walked and Angela Heine singled. After two outs were made, Hargis lashed a single to right-center field. Two innings later, West Albany loaded the bases with two outs. Becca Blasque then ripped a shot to left field, but Hargis made a diving, over-the-shoulder grab to end the inning. Aimee Jeska and Megan Beugli combined to stymie the Bulldogs. In the opening loss, Ashland managed only four hits off Megan Erner. Ashland is 5-4.
