Lady Knights edge Sheldon, 19-18

The Northeast Vernon County Lady Knights picked up its first victory of the season, defeating the Sheldon Lady Panthers 19-18 in seven innings Wednesday evening in Sheldon.

NEVC sophomore pitcher Andrea Halcomb pitched into the fifth inning before being replaced by fellow sophomore Peyton Brooks.

"I think the girls played well," first-year NEVC head coach Joel McDuffey said. "I'm happy some of our younger pitchers are getting real-game experience at the varsity level.

"It's fantastic to get our first win of the year. It should give them a boost going forward."
