Seniors lead Shelbyville to extra-inning win over Cathedral

All four seniors contributed to an extra-inning win Thursday in Shelbyville’s final game of the regular season against Cathedral.

On Senior Night, Kylee Edwards tripled with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning and Hailey Pogue hit the first pitch she saw to bring an end to a back-and-forth affair against the Irish, 9-8.

Cathedral dropped to 17-9 and saw its 9-game win streak snapped. Shelbyville improved to 17-8.

Fellow seniors Abby Brenner (single, two walks) and Riley Maulden (single, run scored) helped rally the Golden Bears, who immediately fell behind 3-0 in the top of the first inning.

Angela Valentine belted a 2-run home run off Shelbyville starting pitcher Cheyenne Eads to stake Cathedral to a 3-0 lead.

Eads, a junior, quickly erased that lead with a 3-run home run in the bottom half of the first off Cathedral starting pitcher Sidney Feczko, who pitched into the fifth inning before being relieved by Maddie Liter. Feczko returned to pitch the eighth inning and took the loss.

Shelbyville’s four seniors totaled nine hits and six runs scored in their final home game. The Golden Bears will not host a postseason game this year.

Maulden singled and moved around the bases on three wild pitches to give Shelbyville its first lead of the game, 4-3.

Feczko delivered a two-run double in the fourth and the Irish added another run to take a 6-4 lead.

Shelbyville got a two-run double from Destiney Johnson in the fifth inning. Kali Laycock followed with a sacrifice fly that plated Brenner to re-take the lead, 7-6.

Pogue scored Edwards, who had three hits and scored three runs, in the sixth with an insurance run but Eads hit Liter with a pitch with two outs in the seventh and then allowed an Alyssa Fry single and Ashley Sylvia double to tie the game.

Shelbyville had a chance to win it in the bottom of the seventh off Liter when Maulden reached on a fielder’s choice and tried to score from first base on a Laycock double to the fence. A perfect relay throw from shortstop Anna Moore to catcher Aubrie Wright beat Maulden to the plate and the game went to extra innings.

Pogue stepped into the pitcher’s circle and worked a scoreless eighth inning then closed out the game in her final home at bat.
