Macy Pries singled, took second and third base on a bunt single, then came home on a base hit by Bekah Patterson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jay County tied it up, however, with an RBI triple in the fourth and that score carried into the top of the seventh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s when Kenzie Neuenschwander led off the final inning with a double to center. A poor play by the Jay second baseman allowed another runner to reach and Macy Pries was intentionally walked to load the bases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That strategy did not pay off, however, and Shea Alberson&#8217;s single to left scored two, giving the Stars and Baker a two-run lead with just three outs to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baker worked around a one-out walk to secure the victory and keep the Starfires at just one loss on the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"174\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Berne-hi-way-hatchery.jpg?resize=290%2C174&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14376\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>South Adams will host Southern Wells Thursday night as they continue to march towards an ACAC title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tee-shirt-logo.jpg?resize=640%2C359&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tee-shirt-logo.jpg?w=749&amp;ssl=1 749w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tee-shirt-logo.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was all about pitching Tuesday night until the South Adams Starfires pushed two runs across on the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,40,28,26],"class_list":["post-15495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-jaycounty","tag-softball","tag-southadams","tag-sports"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photoless-header-template-sports.jpg?fit=252%2C144&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
