NATE WILSON/THE EXPRESS
LOCK HAVEN — By any standards, Central pitcher Rachel Smith didn’t have a bad day.
In the circle, she gave up six hits, walked four and fanned a pair of batters.
The problem came from behind her on the mound, where the Lady Dragons had six errors in the field.
Central Mountain was right there to take advantage.
The Lady Wildcats put together strings of hits and runs, and picked up a 9-2 victory on Senior Day at Peddie Park.
Three seniors — Katelyn Killinger, Keshia McGinness and Megan Karichner — contributed to the team’s final victory as they combined for two hits and four RBI.
“It meant a lot, because for the past couple years, we haven’t been great and now we are,” said Killinger, who was 2-for-3 with three RBI. “It feels really good to keep winning, especially in my last home game. The hitting was key, and we always have good fielding. We had stuff to work on, but we are pretty good now.
