ALLPORT – In their first matchup, West Branch pitcher Makena Moore recorded a perfect game against Curwensville. On Monday evening she hurled a one-hit shutout to down the Golden Tide 6-0. The Warriors ended their 2024 regular season with an impressive 18-1 record.
In her effort from the circle, Moore struck out 16 Tide batters while walking two, and giving up the single hit.
Curwensville pitching allowed just three hits in the game as Addison Siple suffered the loss but gave up just one hit through four innings. Siple was charged with two runs while striking out nine batters and issued one free pass. Caitlyn Irwin came on for the last two innings and was tagged for four runs on two hits, a strikeout, and a walk. Both Siple and Irwin hit one batter in the game.
West Branch was able to score two runs in the first inning. A walk to Brooke Bainey opened the inning, and after the first out, Moore was hit by a pitch. A wild pitch moved the runners up, and both scored on a single by Greysyn Gable to give Moore all the advantage she needed.
A walk to Ava Hainsey, Addison Warren’s bunt single in the fourth inning, and a two-out walk to Natalie Wischuck in the seventh were the only baserunners for the Tide. None were able to advance any further.
West Branch was able to push four runs across in the sixth with the help of two errors and a hit-batter. Gable and Carsyn Wesesky also singled in the frame.
Curwensville (14-5) has one game left on its regular season schedule as District IX foe Redbank Valley will attempt to visit Coach Andy Evanko Stadium on Tuesday.
