The renewal of the softball rivalry between Greene County and Perry took place at the home of the Jayettes on Wednesday night with the Rams winning by a 10-1 final. The teams are going in opposite directions with the Rams winning 10 of their last 11 games, with the Jayettes now having a six game losing streak. Coach Tom Kennedy’s Rams are 16-5 overall and tied for first in the conference at 11-1. Perry drops to 6-6 in league play and 8-11 on the season.

Pitcher Emma Hoyle continued her outstanding senior seasons. She allowed four hits and one unearned run with 15 strikeouts, no walks, and no one hit with a pitch.
