DAYTON – On a beautiful sunny Saturday here, the Dayton girls' softball team lost a heartbreaker to River View, 15-10, in ten innings.

The Lady Bulldogs scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the score at seven and send the game into extra innings.

Those runs came on a clutch two-RBI single by Kellie Moore. Taylor Frame and Madison Mings had started off that inning with doubles. Moore was 4-for-4 on the game.

River View scored three runs in the top of the ninth, but Dayton matched them in the bottom of that frame, to re-tie the score at ten.

Savannah McFarland pitched the entire game, but was unable to hold River View in the top of the tenth, giving up five runs. McFarland walked only three batters in the game.

"The girls mounted two comebacks, but ran out of steam," said Dayton assistant coach Desirae Jones.

Earlier in the game, Dayton fell behind 7-2 before rallying to tie it in the seventh.

For the game, Sarah Phillips and Mia Becker each had three hits.

The Lady Bulldogs were to travel to Athena for a Tuesday afternoon game.
