Hollidaysburg was able to collect just three hits off Tyrone pitchers Stefani Bryan and Hilary McNelis, on Monday at Hollidaysburg, but two of them came back-to-back in the Lady Tigers first at bat.
\nAfter Sarah Eckard and Alyssa Erb opened the home half of the first with base hits. Hollidaysburg pushed both runners around to score. First Lindsey Griffith, and then Alyse McDonald drove in a run each with a sacrifice fly.
\nThe Lady Tigers Jess Walters allowed only a fourth-inning Hilary McNelis home run in posting a 2-1 win over the Tyrone Lady Eagles.
\nMcNelis added a single and Missy Stager, Stefani Bryan, who pitched the first three innings, Ashley Ripka and Ashley Pennebaker singled as the Tyrone girls outhit their hosts 6-3, but couldn\u2019t score any more runs off Walters other than McNelis four-bagger.
\nBryan struck out one and walked one and McNelis fanned one and walked one for Tyrone with Bryan taking the loss.
\nWalters struck out six and didn\u2019t walk a batter to pick up the victory.
\n\u201cWe did some nice things on defense. This was our second straight game without an error,\u201d said Tyrone softball coach Lois Loncher. It was a very well played game, Hollidaysburg only made one error. We had two double plays. Megan Turiano did a nice job at third base as did Heather Stanton at first base. Some people have stepped it up on defense for us.
\n\u201cHollidaysburg only had three hits. Stefani Bryan pitched a good three innings. They were able to put two hits together in the first and that made the difference.\u201d
