Area Prep Softball Report for Friday, March 22

It is one of the best rivalries in Louisiana in every sport.

Each team scored three runs in the first inning before Hahnville took a 6-3 lead after two innings. It was 7-4 after three innings before the Tigers scored twice in the fourth inning to make it 9-4. After Destrehan cut the deficit to 9-5 with a run in the top of the fifth, Hahnville broke it open, walking it off with six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Adeline Bertrand and Jordyn Chaix each had three hits, including a home run with two RBI while Jenna Cancienne homered and drove in three runs. Emma Jackson and Kloe White each had a hit and two RBI. White went the distance to pick up the win, allowing three earned runs on just two hits. White walked five and struck out seven.
