PINETOWN — Washington scratched out runs in five of seven frames en route to an 8-1 win at Northside Friday evening. Summer Campbell was 3-for-3 with a double and a triple, and Emme Davis also had two hits for two RBI and a run.

Sophomore pitcher Abbi Tucker rolled through six innings in which she conceded an earned run on a hit and a walk. Freshman Savanna Craft stuck out a pair of Lady Panthers in the final stanza.

Washington got the jump on Northside with a run in the top of the first. It added one in the third and a pair in the fourth to take a 4-1 lead more than halfway through. The Lady Pack closed it out by scoring three times in the top of the seventh.

“Abbi Tucker is pitching extremely well,” Washington coach Doug Whitehead. “(Thursday night) she struck out 17. She kept Northside off balance. … We’ve been scoring early. Summer Campbell has been extraordinarily hot as the leadoff.”

Northside coach Gil Robbins said: “We went out there stepping up competition. When you do that, you expect some times to get knocked around. Early in the game, I thought we were doing pretty good. I thought maybe we were struggling to get balls drop where we want to.”

Washington and Northside now look forward to their respective conference openers. The Lady Pack will make its first foray into the 2-A Eastern Carolina Conference when it travels to Greene Central on Tuesday. The Lady Panthers will head to 1-A Coastal Plains newcomer Riverside on Tuesday.
