The game had 25 runs, 31 hits and 289 total pitches.
So it’s only fitting the La Center and Battle Ground softball teams needed an extra inning to fit it all in.
And what an extra inning it was. La Center beat Battle Ground 13-12, making the four runs it scored in the top of the eighth inning hold up.
La Center’s Abby England hit three home runs, including one that led off the eighth inning. She also pitched the whole game, striking out 11 and walking two.
Paige Stinson went 4 for 5 with four RBIs. She had a home run and an RBI triple in the eighth inning.
Battle Ground rallied in the bottom of the eighth as Haley Buck’s two-run homer cut the lead in half. The Tigers added another run on an error, but stranded the potential tying run.
Danyelle Joli pitched all eight innings for Battle Ground, striking out four and walking none. She also had a solo home run.
