Edwards sets record in Big Red loss

STEUBENVILLE – Sadie Edwards added to her list of Big Red softball program records on Tuesday.

The Akron Zips commit hit a solo homer in Steubenville’s 13-5 loss to John Marshall at the Crimson Complex, putting her in sole possession of the program record for career home runs.

The homer was her fifth of the season. She also holds the single season mark, which she set last season.

The Monarchs, though, scored the game’s first 10 runs and did not look back in taking the victory in a key meeting of OVAC Class 5A tournament hopefuls.

Also for Big Red (8-3), Sagan Smarrella and Riley Zorne each plated a run. Edwards also struck out four in five innings of relief work in the circle.

Big Red will look to bounce back on Thursday when they travel to Oak Glen.
