Both teams were strong in the pitcher’s circle on Thursday, but two-time defending state champion Calvary Baptist Academy was just a little bit stronger at the plate in a 3-1 softball victory over Natchitoches Central.
Calvary Baptist, unbeaten at 6-0, got on the board in the second inning when
Baylor Bockhaus hit a solo home run to center field.
NCHS (2-3) answered in the bottom of the second with a big fly. Sydni Jones homered to left field for a 1-1 tie.
Calvary moved back on top to stay in the top of the fourth on an error and a bases-loaded walk.
NCHS right-hander Sydney Terrell threw a complete game, allowing just five hits to the explosive Lady Cavaliers, striking out three and walking three.
Natchitoches Central will travel to Dutchtown on Saturday.
