Wellsville Eagles Fall Short In Pioneer Title Game
Wellsville high school softball, the regular season champion, lost 5-2 to Prairie View in Iola to drop their title bid. Prairie View scored twice in the second inning aided by Wellsville errors, then Wellsville’s offense struggled despite several hard-hit balls. In the sixth, Mariah Rahill walked and scored on an error, and Ashley Sparks hit a triple with Justine Dougan driving in a run. Coach Chris Rose lamented too many strikeouts and untimely mistakes, though Raegan Beckley pitched well before the late runs. Wellsville had earlier advanced by beating Osawatomie and Anderson County to reach the final. They return home to host Eudora next.
