WESTPHALIA, Mo. - The Blair Oaks Lady Falcons scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning Thursday to take a 7-6 decision from the Fatima Lady Comets.

Fatima, still the road team on the scoreboard, rallied to take a 6-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh.
Lauren Viessman of Blair Oaks led off with a bunt single before Jolie Duffner doubled to put runners at second and third. Viessman then scored on a passed ball and Duffner then came home from second to tie it as the ball got away on the infield.
Two walks and a single then loaded the bases before the Lady Comets bobbled a throw home as the Lady Falcons scored the game-winner.
Duffner and Karlie Reinemeyer had two hits each for Blair Oaks.
Peyton Staggs was the winning pitcher, allowing seven hits and one walk while striking out 10.
