A five-run ambush by Kent City in the sixth inning of Saturday’s district semifinal was too much for Montague in a 5-4 district semifinal defeat.
With one run already in the books in the sixth, Kent City’s Kenzie Freeland laced a two-run triple to tie it at 3-3, and a hit and an error brought in two more runs. Montague’s Kennedy Johnson doubled and scored in the seventh inning, but the ‘Cats couldn’t extend the game.
Johnson had an outstanding game to end her Montague career, collecting a home run, a double and a single. She scored and/or drove in all four Montague runs. Abby Thommen added two hits.
