MEADVILLE – Tylertown scored three runs in the top of the first inning and that was enough to collect a 3-2 victory Tuesday evening at Shortstop Fields in Meadville over the FC Lady Bulldogs in area softball action.

Tylertown used some crafty pitching from Gee Holmes to collect the win. Holmes struck out seven and walked two.
In what became a pitchers dual between FC hurler Harley McKay and Holmes, runs were few and far between. The Lady Chiefs led 3-0 after one inning of play, before FC scored two runs in the bottom half of the sixth.
For FC, Emilee Wallace absorbed the loss despite only pitching a 1/3 of an inning. McKay struck out six in six innings of relief.
At the plate, Macy Ziskin led all batters with two singles and a double. Hayle McKinney added two doubles.
