The Skinny: Raiders take first ever meeting between two Leesburg schools.
Raiders report that: The Raiders slugged out 13 hits, five for extra bases, highlighted by a walk off home run to beat new Dulles District foe, Tuscarora, 13-3 in 5 innings. The win evened the Raiders' district record at 2-2 and their overall record improves to 4-2. The Raiders got on the board in the first inning as Stephen Veschi walked to lead off the inning. Nick Fischer then hit a single and Tyler Saleck followed up with an RBI single. Matt Slack then sacrificed Fischer in for the second run. The Raiders added another run in the 2nd inning when Collin Dillon led the inning off with a single, then advanced to second on a walk to Taylor Cokeley. Jake Wright then hit an RBI single. The Raiders erupted with seven runs off of six hits in the 3rd inning. A lead off single by Kris Pratt and a walk by Slack, allowed Ethan Carlyon to hit an RBI single. Dillon then hit the first of two Raider triples in the game. Dillon scored on a fielder's choice by Cokeley. Wright smashed a double to start the base runners again. Followed up by a walk to Veschi, Fischer hit an RBI single to center field. Saleck got on base by a fielder's choice. Pratt came up for the second time in the inning and smashed his 6th double of the year, this one good for 2 RBIs. Pratt was effective on the mound, holding the Huskies hitless and scoreless for 4 innings. Tuscarora put 3 runs over the plate in the top of the fifth inning. The Raiders put Tuscarora away for good in the bottom of the fifth. Substitute Aaron Orrison hit a bunt single, then advanced to 3rd base by stealing a base and a past-ball. Substitute Zach Ballinger knocked in Orrison on a triple to right-center field. Then, Pratt ended the game by shooting a 2-run home run over the left field fence.

Huskies report that: For the second game in a row, the Huskies’ previously reliable starting pitching could not stave off an opponent’s offensive. It seemed at first that the Huskies were on their way to being shut out for a third straight game as the revamped Tuscarora lineup went hitless through the first four innings. Down 10-0 after three innings, the Huskies continued to battle until their bats showed signs of life in the fifth. After centerfielder Dalton Scanlon led off the inning by reaching base on an error and second baseman Travis Burke walked, reliever Ian Anderson loaded the bases with a single to left and left fielder Brady Kaplan followed with an RBI single to right. Shortstop Bernie Mayflower drove in two more with a double down the right field line, making it three hits in a row and three Tuscarora runs on the board. The Huskies couldn’t sustain the rally, though, and ended the frame with the bases loaded. In the bottom half of the inning the Raiders answered with three more runs and brought down the curtain on the Huskies’ evening.

Panthers report: After loading the bases in the top of the first inning on three consecutive singles, Spartans pitcher Ashley Ferrara got out of the inning without giving up a run and held the Panthers scoreless through the first five innings. The Spartans scored two runs in the 2nd, two unearned runs in the 3rd, a run in the 4th, and two more in the 5th inning. The Panthers led off the 6th inning with freshman Tiffany Barndt (2-4, run) singling to left field before the Spartans made a pitching change. After the next two batters were hit by pitches, the next six Panthers put the ball in play. Junior Peyton Valentine (1-4, run, 2 RBIs) singled down the right field line to score two runs, followed by senior Katlyn McClung (1-2, run, RBI) with an infield single, and senior Kayla Guttridge's (2-4, run 2 RBIs) 2-run double to right center before the Spartans put Ferrara back into pitch up 7-5. But the Panthers continued to hit - junior Caitie McClay (2-4) singled up the middle, sophomore Anna Zembar (1-4, run, RBI) hit a line drive single down the third base line scoring a run. After a fielder's choice and groundout, junior Lauren Fulcher (1-3, run) hit the ball to third which resulted in a two-run throwing error gving the Panthers the lead 8-7. Broad Run came back with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning after a walk and double by Jenny Kramer (2-4), a runner thrown out at the plate on a fielder's choice, before Holly Vizek (3-4) singled home the tying run. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Maggie Betz (2-4) singled up the middle, McKall Miller (1-5) hit into a fielder's choice, and advanced to second on a throwing error before Kate Sims (3-5) hit a walk-off single up the middle scoring the winning run. Senior Heather Kiefer took the loss for the Panthers.
Woodgrove 13, Freedom 2 (5)
The Skinny: With five wins behind them, the Wolverines were ready to take some chances when they faced Freedom Tuesday night at Woodgrove field. Sophomore Alexa Hillyard had her first start as a varsity pitcher and Rachel Harris stepped in as catcher. The team hardly missed a beat as they put away the Eagles in five innings. The hits started early with Courtney Bogan and Ashley Cole both hitting singles. This set the stage for Christy Haney’s single which brought in Bogan to score the first run. With Cole in scoring position, Delanie Daughtry brought her home with another strong single, and Harris followed with a single to bring home Haney for the third run. Hillyard’s hit deep into centerfield was too much for the Eagles outfield when the ball was dropped and Daughtry and Harris were able to come home. After Katie Sholl was walked, Amanda Rathjen came home on a passed ball, and that was enough to end the first inning 6-0. Freedom was able to find a weak spot in the Wolverines’ defense when the first three batters in the second inning loaded the bases and the sixth batter, Tsitos, brought home Villagomez to score the first run for the Eagles. The Wolverines were able to score a seventh run when Cole was walked, stole second and third base, and came home on an Alaina Furr double. The second inning ended with a score of 7-1. The third inning saw more Eagles on base. McGrady scored the only run after hitting a single and being advanced by Johnson, Snyder, and Muller. Woodgrove was unable to keep the runs coming and the inning ended 7-2. Freedom’s first three batters of the fourth inning met with strong defensive plays from the Wolverines, especially McGrady’s line drive to right field which was ably snagged by Mackenzie Moler. The Woodgrove scoring drive began when Bogan and Cole were walked and brought home by a double from Haney. Furr singled and brought in Haney, Daughtry singled and brought in Furr, and Harris singled and brought home Daughtry to score the 12th run. The last run of the inning was scored by Harris when a single by Hillyard brought her home. The top half of the fifth inning offered the Eagles a last chance to score, but they were unable to get a run. The game ended with a score of 13-2.
Loudoun County 11, Tuscarora 0 (5)
The Skinny: The Raiders improved to 3-1 in the Dulles District and 5-1 with a 14-hit night against the neighboring Huskies.

Briar Woods 6, Park View 1
The Skinny: Falcons report: The Patriots started strong and equaled the Falcons' energy in early play before Marchelle Davis fired a BOOM of a shot high into the right corner of Park View’s net from 20 yards out. Park View answered with a nice approach and solid goal from Alison Kuhn to tie the game 1–1. Briar Woods scored again before half when sophomore Davis slid a ball past the Patriot’s goalkeeper to make it a 2-1 game. Briar Woods’ halftime talk lit a fuse that ignited in a third goal for "Shell" Davis in the opening minute of the second half. Alexis Jensen joined in the frenzy with the second BOOM of the night when she fired a strike for a 4–1 lead. Davis capped her productive night with a career high 4th goal. Falcons captain Morgan McCarthy finished the scoring frenzy by evading two defenders and firing a rocket from the top of the box. Park View’s strong midfield created some dangerous moments for the Falcons with through-balls but once again the Woods’ defense held. The Falcons back three, led by sophomore Tori Panzica with freshmen Kira Warner and Alexis Haycraft, protected their keeper allowing only 7 shots on goal. Keeper Cloe Barnes had 6 saves.

Six minutes into the 2nd half, Smith got in front of the goal to receive a cross from junior Darbie Kelley for her second goal of the night. The final goal came from sophomore Christie Belz.
