PREP SOFTBALL

BENTONVILLE WEST 2, BRYANT 1

Held scoreless for five innings, the Lady Wolverines finally broke through in the top of the sixth, scoring a pair of runs to claim a tight nonconference win Friday. With one out, Sarah Cooper singled to start the sixth inning rally. Ryen Rassi walked to put two runners on and Laynee Tapp crushed a two-run double to plate Cooper and Rassi. That was all the offense West pitcher Elise Sokolsky needed. She stymied Bryant over the final two innings to nail down the win, capping a complete-game three-hitter that included 11 strikeouts. Cooper was 2-for-3 for the Lady Wolverines and Caroline Wilhelm was also 2-for-3. Bryant’s Chrissy Metford was also solid in the circle, scattering 6 hits with 5 strikeouts.
