MHS takes down Steubenville to reach OVAC finals, UHS upset by Parkersburg South

Dominion Post01-05-2025

WHEELING — The Morgantown High softball team will have the chance to defend their OVAC 5A championship after a 9-3 upset victory over top-seeded Steubenville on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, defending state champion University High suffered a loss in the semifinal, 5-1, against Parkersburg South.
MHS will battle the Patriots at 5 p.m. Friday for the championship.
The Hawks only managed four hits to go along with as many errors against Parkersburg South. Patriots starting pitcher Anniston Shelton threw seven innings and struck out 13 batters without surrendering a walk. Seven Parkersburg South batters earned a hit in the contest.
UHS starter Maddie Campbell also went the length of the game, allowing nine hits and five runs (two earned), with only one walk and 10 strikeouts.
Liz Alsop was the prime suspect in Morgantown's productive night on offense, tallying six RBI and walloping two home runs and a double to do it.
On the mound, Maddie Wisman pitched a complete outing for the Mohigans, striking out seven.
Kira Smith also drove a home run, a solo shot in the fourth inning.
Alsop's three-run blast broke open what had been a scoreless game with one out in the third inning. Morgantown scored five more in the fourth inning thanks to Alsop and Smith.
'Bats came alive tonight, pitching was great by Maddie Wisman,' Morgantown head coach Lorri Lipscomb said. 'Even though we had some defensive miscues, they picked each other up and came back strong. That's the key.'
'They're better than us,' Steubenville head coach Gus DiMarzio said. 'They pitched better than us, they fielded better than us, they hit better than us.'
Each team tacked on one run apiece in the final frame, a sac fly from Steubenville's Riley Zorne serving to cut into the Mohigans lead, but Morgantown would retire the following batter to advance to the 5A final, at the JB Chambers Sports Complex.
'We're excited we're back to defend the OVAC championship, we want to make it two in a row.'
Sophia Zorne and Riley Zorne each finished with an RBI for Steubenville.
Morgantown won last year's OVAC championship 4-3 against John Marshall. The Mohigans entered that game as the four-seed in the tournament bracket as well.

Blue Jays place outfielder Nathan Lukes on seven-day injured list with concussion

ST LOUIS - Outfielder Nathan Lukes has been placed on the seven-day injured list by the Toronto Blue Jays. He's out with a concussion retroactive to Tuesday. Outfielder Will Robertson was selected to Toronto's major league roster in a corresponding move. Robertson, who grew up in Missouri, was available for today's series finale in St. Louis against the Cardinals. Lukes was a late scratch in the Blue Jays' 10-9 win in St. Louis on Tuesday in what was then listed as neck discomfort. The 30-year-old was apparently hurt when he collided with Toronto second baseman Ernie Clement in the sixth inning of the Blue Jays' 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. Lukes is hitting .267 with four home runs and 21 runs batted in this season. Robertson, called up to the majors for the first time in his career, is batting .288 with 12 home runs and 35 RBI with Triple-A Buffalo this season. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 11, 2025.
