NORTHERN CAMBRIA — The Moshannon Valley softball team rode the arm and bat of Annabeth Anderson past host Northern Cambria, 7-4, Thursday afternoon to halt a three-game losing skid.
The Damsels jumped on Northern Cambria starter Alyssa Yahner for three runs in the first three innings, then held off the Lady Colts from there to take home the win.
Anderson went the distance in the circle, allowing four runs, all earned, on eight hits while striking out six and walking two. She also enjoyed a huge day at the plate, going 5-for-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Anderson belted a solo homer in the second inning.
Teammates Kylee O’Donnell, Ava Robison, Leah Martin and Mya Walstrom each added two hits in the win. O’Donnell had a double and two RBIs.
Mo Valley (2-3) is back in action Tuesday at hone against rival Glendale.
