ALLPORT — The Curwensville softball team was limited to one hit Tuesday afternoon in a 3-0 road loss to West Branch.
Briah Peoples had the lone hit for the Lady Tide, clubbing a leadoff double in the top of the third inning. Addyson Neiswender followed and was hit by a Megan Eyerly pitch before Curwensville’s Sylvia Witherite’s sac bunt moved both runners up a base.
But with runners on second and third and just one out, Eyerly got a strikeout and groundout to get out of the inning unscathed. Eyerly retired the final 15 Lady Tide batters she faced, finishing the game with 10 strikeouts.
Curwensville also got a gem in the circle from Addison Siple, who allowed just four hits, while striking out seven. Only one of the runs Siple surrendered was earned. That came on a solo home run by Lindsey Bainey on a full count with two out in the third inning that put West Branch in front 2-0.
The Lady Warriors tacked on a run in the bottom of the sixth.
Curwensville fell to 1-1 with the loss.
The Lady Tide return to action Monday at Moniteau.
