Kossuth takes 1-0 lead over Mantachie with Wednesday night win

Kossuth pitcher Maddie Mask tossed a shutout and the Lady Aggies jumped out to a 3-0 1st inning lead against Mantachie and ace Ramsey Montgomery as Kossuth claimed a 1-0 lead in the best of 3 third round series.

Hadley James opened the offense in the first with a single, followed by a Mask single. After Victoria Fields was hit by a pitch, Annabelle Marlar hit an RBI groundout. Cailyn Johnson hit a sharp grounder to the shortstop and an error allowed two runs to score for the Lady Aggies.

That would prove more than enough with Mask on her A game for Kossuth.

The Lady Aggie hurler scattered 3 hits and struck out 9 for her second shutout of the playoffs.

Marlar would put the exclamation point on the victory with a 6th inning solo shot to straight away center.

The action shifts to Mantachie on Thursday for Game 2. Game 3, if needed, will be back at Kossuth.
