Apollo 3, Owensboro Catholic 2
Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh, Apollo’s Emersyn Bullington scored on a Lily Page single to walk off the Lady Aces 3-2. Tyler Hall and Isabella Felderpausch both drove in runs, while Arianna Ramirez finished 1-3. Mollie Julian threw a complete game, allowing two earned runs over seven innings, while striking out five.
“I thought we competed well,” Apollo head coach Stephen Julain said. “We made most of the routine plays, got a couple of key hits, and Mollie threw well enough to limit them. I thought she got better as the game progressed. Maddi Roberts came through with a hit off the bench to get things going in the seventh and advanced on the throwing error. All district wins are good wins.”

“These types of games are fun to be part of,” Owensboro Catholic head coach Jeremy Phelps said. “Two teams that know each other, the players are friends, play travel ball together, and two teams out of field competing against one another. I believe games like this make both games better.”
