The St. Catharine College softball team needed just one win Saturday to secure a spot in this weekend’s Mid-South Conference tournament in Kingsport, Tenn. But, although they came close in game two at UVA-Wise, the Patriots could not get the victory they needed.

Washington County took two of three games last week, and the two wins came in the games that mattered most. The Commanders (11-9) came away with 4-2 and 8-2 road victories over district rivals Bethlehem and Thomas Nelson, respectively, putting themselves at 3-1 and in strong standing as the district schedule heats up. The wins sandwiched an 8-2 loss at the hands of Elizabethtown on Wednesday night.

David Thompson was the first male and first overall finisher of the second-annual St. Catharine College military appreciation day 5K run / walk.

In the female 12-and-under group, Laurel Brahm finished first in 26:27. Brianna Mattingly finished second in 39:06.6. Jasmine Benningfield finished third in 39:06.7.

The Mid-South Conference softball tournament starts April 25 in Kingsport, Tenn. and Holly Smith is hoping her St. Catharine College Patriots are part of that event. But that won’t be determined until possibly Monday when the Patriots play Campbellsville to conclude the regular season. The top eight teams will make it to the conference tournament.
