Shelbyville softball suffers first loss of season

Columbus North used a five-run fifth inning to erase a 5-1 Shelbyville lead and held on for a 9-5 victory Wednesday.

 

Kiley McIver’s second home run of the season helped the Golden Bears build a 4-run lead but the Bull Dogs erupted in the fifth inning.

 

Columbus North (3-1), a potential sectional opponent for Shelbyville, added three more runs in the sixth to get Maddi Rutan the win in the circle. She pitched four innings in relief of Meghan Waggoner and allowed one earned run while striking out five.

 

Cheyenne Eads (2-1) took the loss for Shelbyville (3-1). She pitched into the sixth inning, allowing all nine runs on 10 hits while striking out seven.

 

Hailey Pogue closed out the game, allowing two hits and no runs.

 

McIver and Katie Mathies were the only Golden Bears with two hits in the loss. Mathies and Kylee Edwards each had doubles.

 

Shelbyville is back in action today at home against another potential sectional opponent in East Central (3-0).
