KAPLAN - The Kaplan Lady Pirates quest to repeat as Division III Non-Select State Champions came to a halt Saturday as they fell to the Jena Lady Giants 4-3.
Kaplan (27-6) had the tying run on second base with nobody out in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Jena’s pitching and defense held, ending the Lady Pirates’ season.
“Things just didn’t go our way,” said head coach Brittany LeBeouf. “We had runners in scoring position the first three innings and we couldn’t scratch a run across. That’s sometimes how the game goes.”
