Harper Rutherford drove in the winning run with a ninth-inning double as the Lady Panthers overcame the Lady Warriors in an extra-inning contest Tuesday.

Lakeside’s Ella Wood had tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh.

Lakeside jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first inning when Ella Wood produced a two-RBI double (her first of two hits) and Peyton Wood singled, scoring another run. Stanley tied the game in the top of the third thanks to a home run by Kraegan Jordan, and a single by Alyssa Gooden.

Stanley captured the lead, 6-5, in the top of the sixth after Jordan singled down the left field line, and Riley Palmer flew out, each scoring one run.

Paige Campbell earned the win for Stanley, giving up five hits and six runs (three earned) over nine innings, striking out eight and walking four. Ella Wood took the loss, also going the full nine innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits, striking out eight and walking 10.

Lakeside’s Lady Warriors varsity and JV teams will host Northwood Thursday for a doubleheader.
