The Charlestown Lady Pirate Softball team traveled to Austin for an important conference clash with the Lady Eagles. Charlestown (9-4 & 3-2 MSC) jumped out to a 6-0 lead after the first two innings; highlighted by a Mackenize Smith solo in the park home run. Austin added two runs in the fourth, before Charlestown put the game away with a seven run sixth inning before winning 15-2. Charlestown played twenty-one players during the game. Junior pitcher Carly Price got the win from the circle, allowing only two hits, and retiring ten batters.
