The Terriers extended their lead with three runs in the top of the second thanks to RBI singles by Clark and Grubb.

On Friday the girls hosted Northside and took a 13-3 win. Sydney Tuck drove in four runs on three hits as Byrd won their Blue Ridge District opener. Tuck doubled in the third inning, scoring two runs, and doubled in the fourth inning, driving home two more.

Kalee Hayes slammed two home runs to lead the offense, going yard in both the second and third innings. Hadyn Grubb earned the win in the circle for Byrd, allowing three earned runs over four innings. Addison Clark tossed two innings of scoreless ball in relief.
