Rowland allowed two hits and struck out 11, and added three RBI. North scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to defeat Lancaster 3-2 in the second round May 12. Dustman had three hits and Victoria Shaffer drove in the winning run. •Central continued to make strides this spring under coach Brian Wamsley, who said he expects even more improvement in coming seasons.

Delaware freshman Mikayla Cooper pitched a one-hitter, allowing only a single by Paige McMenemy in the seventh inning. Cooper also hit a solo home run in the fourth. McMenemy, also a freshman, pitched well in defeat, as she allowed seven hits. “We couldn’t hit the Cooper kid,” Wamsley said. “Paige pitched a great game and we just didn’t give her the support she needed.” Highlights of Central’s final week of the season included beating North and beating Brookhaven 21-0 in five innings in the first round of the district tournament May 10. The Warhawks split their four games with North and Westerville South. They lost to North 3-2 on April 6, defeated South 12-2 on April 7 and lost to the Wildcats 5-2 on April 26.
