“The girls played their hearts out,” La Grande Little League softball vice president Jason Thorne said. “Playing four days in a row in the dry heat of Athena can take a toll on anyone. “But the girls battled and never faltered. I am the proudest I have ever been as a coach with these young ladies.” Madison Elliott began the game on the mound and was replaced by Emily Laurence after four finnings.La Grande battled back in the tournament after falling to Milton-Freewater in its second game, 10-3, Sunday. La Grande defeated Pilot Rock twice in the tournament, 9-2 Saturday and 3-2 Monday. The tournament was hosted by Triangle Little League in Athena. Milton-Freewater advances to the state tournament in Eugene. The 9/10-year-old softball tournament continues today in Athena with semifinal matches scheduled for 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. |
