Megan Graver wasn’t allowing anything from Van-Far on Thursday.
The Bowling Green pitcher struck out 13 Lady Indians to throw a perfect game in Van-Far’s 10-0 loss in five innings at home. Graver struck out the first six batters she faced while her offense gave her seven runs after two innings.
Dalana Gay allowed 10 runs on 11 hits and two walks. Only one of those runs was counted as earned because of four errors.
Van-Far quiet after first, loses 7-1 at Montgomery County
The first two batters signaled a good day for Van-Far on Tuesday.
The rest of the game went differently as the Lady Indians lost 7-1 at Eastern Missouri Conference foe Montgomery County despite the first two batters of the game resulting in singles. Carmen Wilburn and Madelynn Caldwell hit safely, picking up two of Van-Far’s three hits, and Montgomery County’s Aliviah Fischer had a double and drove in three runs off a home run.
Reeve Woodall singled to lead off the second inning. Dalana Gay allowed seven unearned runs on seven hits and five Lady Indian errors in six innings to counter Maddy Queathem’s eight strikeouts and three hits in seven innings.
In the first inning, Wilburn reached on a pop fly, and Caldwell bunted her way on base. Mara Jensen grounded into a double play, but Hailey Lowry’s ground ball wasn’t fielded properly to allow Van-Far to take a 1-0 lead after one inning.
The Lady Wildcats (4-10, 1-5 EMO) scored on error to even the score in the third inning prior to a six-run sixth inning. Two errors kept the door open with two outs in the sixth long enough for Fischer to make it 7-1 with a drive over the center field fence.
Van-Far (3-11, 0-6 EMO) plays Saturday in the Bulldog Invitational Softball Tournament on Saturday. The Lady Indians face Eastern Missouri Conference foe and No. 2 seed Elsberry at 10:30 a.m. as the seventh seed.
