Smithson Valley charged out of the gate against the Lady Chargers on Tuesday and scored 8 runs in the first inning and 7 more in the third on its way to an 18-2 win over the Chargers softball team in four innings.

Champion slips to 12-14 overall and 6-7 in district with one game left. 

Champion and Veterans Memorial were tied in the district standings for the fourth and final playoff spot up for grabs at 6-7 heading into Friday and split their season series. Champion was at Seguin on Friday and Veterans Memorial visits Kerrville Tivy to close out the regular season. If they both lose or both win, they’ll stay tied and will have a play-in game, but if one wins and the other loses, then the winner on Friday advances.

Champion finished with 4 hits in Tuesday’s game and all four hits were doubles to help the Chargers score single runs in the first and third innings. 

In the first, Riley Murrish doubled and scored on a Kassidy Kureska double and in the third, Emily Young doubled, followed by another Kureska double to bring in Young to account for their two runs.

Ava Trevino started in the circle and threw an inning, while Mylie Parker finished out the game by throwing the last three frames.

Trevino gave up 2 hits, while Parker yielded 5 hits and struck out 3.
