BRYAN – An unearned run proved to be the difference on Saturday evening as the Antwerp Lady Archers posted a 1-0 victory over Ayersville in Division IV district softball action at Bryan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antwerp scored the game\u2019s only run in the bottom of the first inning to punch their ticket to Wednesday\u2019s regional game against New Riegel at 5:00 p.m. at Findlay\u2019s Marathon Diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With bases loaded and one out, Samantha Rigsby\u2019s ground ball resulted in a throwing error to home that allowed Tiera Gomez to score what proved to be the game-winning run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, Archer junior pitcher Carlie Hanes kept the Pilots off of the scoreboard to preserve the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pilots, though, would threaten in both the fifth and seventh to tie the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fifth, Teryn Bour reached with one out on a bunt single before a sacrifice bunt by Kelly Limbaugh moved Bour to second with two outs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Bour advanced to third on a passed ball, Hanes got Aubrey Florence to fly out to Emerson Litzenberg in left field to end the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayersville made things interesting again in the seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanes opened the inning with consecutive strikeouts of Hailey Johnson and Loryn Wright Before Bour again reached on a bunt single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bour then stole second and third, putting the tying run 60 feet from home plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two strikes, Limbaugh fouled off a third-strike bunt attempt that gave Hanes her 14th strikeout of the contest and set off an Archer regional bound celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanes and the Archer both improved to 17-2 on the season with the win as the Antwerp hurler scattered five hits in the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanes, Tiera Gomez and Karsyn Brumett had the only three Archer hits in the contest, all singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bour led all hitters with a pair of singles while Kourtney Lindeman, Chloe Bowen and Loryn Wright all had a single each for Ayersville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aubrey Florence suffered the loss for the Lady Pilots, giving up three hits, an unearned run and three walks while striking out seven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
