Faith Leist slammed a two-out double in the bottom of the 10th inning to score Ariene Butler from first base as the Huntington North High School varsity softball team beat Whitko, 3-2, on Tuesday, April 25.

Butler started the frame with an infield single but Mackenzi Cannici and Hannah Middlebrooks both flew out. Leist then got her rip to deep center to push the Lady Vikings to 7-4 on the campaign.

Butler, Middlebrooks and Jordyn Poulson each had a pair of hits to lead the offense.

Middlebrooks got the win in the circle in relief. The senior went the final six frames and yielded only one hit, with seven strikeouts.

Kendra Arnold started and went four innings, yielding two hits and two runs.
