Center Horseshoe Ballpark on Tuesday, April 19, 2022 –
The Center Lady Roughriders varsity softball team struggled and lost 11-1 to the undefeated (9-0) Jasper Lady Bulldogs. Tuesday’s game was Center’s final home game and they hosted a Senior Day for student athletes Gracie Wisenant, Kaiya Hubbard and Skylar Causey.
The Lady Bulldogs used a walk, error and a double from Kiara Sells to extend an early lead to 5-0 runs by the middle of the second inning. JHS rallied again in the top of the third to balloon their lead to 11-0 going into the top of the fourth.
It appeared Jasper would be retired early in the third frame but an error extended the inning. Jasper nearly scored but leftfielder Gracie Wisenant made an excellent play on a hard hit double to the outfield and the Lady Roughriders were able to end the inning by relaying the ball into home plate to retire the final out without an additional score.
Ryleigh Youngblood led off the bottom half of the fourth inning by walking. She later scored what would prove to be the game’s final run when Julie Bird singled to centerfield.

Shelbyville fell behind when Mount Enterprise scored in the top of the first and led 1-0. Shelbyville answered with two runs in the bottom first frame to take a 2-1 lead into the second inning. The Lady Dragon’s 2-1 lead held up until they extended their advantage in the bottom of the fourth inning with a rally which saw them score 4 runs on two singles, a double, a walk, a hit batter and an error. They carried a 6-1 advantage into the fifth inning.
Shelbyville then got the five runs needed to end the game during the bottom of the fifth inning when they rallied on six hits and a fielder’s choice which allowed the Lady Dragons to get the 11-1 lead and end the game by mercy-rule.
