ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Meigs softball team rallied back from an early 1-0 deficit with eight unanswered runs Wednesday night during an 8-1 victory over visiting Belpre in a non-conference matchup in Meigs County.

Haley English was the winning pitcher of record, allowing one earned run, four hits and one walk over seven frames while striking out six. Natalie Perry took the loss for Belpre after surrendering eight runs, 10 hits and one walk over six innings while fanning five.
