KEYSER — Tucker County dropped a 12-2 verdict to Keyser Wednesday evening in prep softball action.

It was the season opener for the Lady Mountain Lions, who couldn’t recover after trailing 7-0 after two innings.

The contest was halted in the bottom of the fourth inning due to the mercy rule when the hosts plated three runs.

Rachel Felton, MaKenna Evans and Brianna Gooden accounted for Tucker County’s hits on the night.

Ava Shaffer and Gooden tallied RBIs.

Shaffer took the loss on the mound. She gave up seven runs on just two hits, with only three of the runs earned.

Peyton Hicks and Gooden also saw time in the hill.

Riley Felton had a homer and double for Keyser., while Rylee Mangold and Ivy Bromhal had two RBIs each.

Leighton Johnson went the distance to earn the win.
