Blair Oaks tops Russellville

RUSSELLVILLE - It was a near flawless performance for Blair Oaks.

A freshman tossed a one-hit shutout. A sluggish offense exploded for 11 runs in five innings. Four hitters drove in multiple runs.

It all added up to an 11-0 five-inning victory for the Lady Falcons against Russellville on Tuesday evening.

"There were a lot of impressive things," Blair Oaks coach Sharon Buschjost said. "The freshman throwing a one-hit shutout was impressive. That's what she's capable of doing and that's what she did. Offensively, since we've been struggling a little bit with that I'm absolutely thrilled with the amount of pressure we put on their defense."

That freshman would be Payton Staggs.
