In order to advance to Championship Sunday, the Knights had to get passed the Salkehatchie Indians. The second inning the Indians would get on the board when Salk's centerfielder, Alyssa Chambers ripped a 3 run triple off starting pitcher Anna Mitchell who struck out 4 Indian batters in 3.3 innings of work.

In the seventh inning and the last chance for Surry, Vogler reaches on an error and Draughn beats out a sacrifice bunt, Paige flys out, Brooke hits a line shot up the middle. With bases loaded and two chances the Knights just could not push another across.

The Lady Knights Softball Team has once again put together a great season and improved to 24 and 19 overall! With a great effort at the tournament, Surry finished fourth place equal to their finish in the regular season. We wish our sophomores the best of luck and hope you will catch us again next year for another exciting softball season.
