The Tyrone girls softball team traveled to Philipsburg to play the defending PIAA state champion Lady Mountains of Philipsburg-Osceola. Central Pennsylvania girls softball is brutal with past district and state champs heavy on the Lady Eagles schedule. Thursday afternoon at P-O, was no different for the young Tyrone girls team, with just 11 players on the varsity roster.
\nP-O pitcher Brittany Murphy showed exactly how tough it can be, tossing her second consecutive one-hitter in defeating Tyrone 13-0.
\n\u201cWe played our best ball of the year. We made routine plays today,\u201d said Tyrone coach Lois Loncher. \u201cIt was good to see the girls have a good game and gain confidence against a good team.\u201d
\nTyrone second baseman Amber Miller\u2019s lead-off double to begin the third inning, was the Lady Eagles\u2019 only base hit. Teanna Kobuck, who drew a walk was the Tyrone girls\u2019 only other base runner.
