SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Oak Glen knew it faced a daunting task if it were to repeat as West Virginia Class AA state softball champions on Friday at Little Creek Park.

The Golden Bears would have had to win four straight games but that proved to be too much of a hurdle to clear as the team was eliminated by No. 1 seed Logan 10-4 in the loser’s bracket final.

Logan had served Oak Glen its first loss of the tournament on Thursday with a 1-0 win.

Fifth-seeded Oak Glen (21-13) held a 4-2 lead over Logan in the fifth inning but the Wildcats poured on four runs in the bottom of the fifth and four more in the bottom of the six to end Oak Glen’s run.

Danica Holden, who faced four batters in relief, took the loss with four earned runs, a walk and no strikeouts. Mattie Carney started the game and ended the game for the Golden Bears. She totaled six innings with two walks, five earned runs and a strikeout.

Offensively for the Bears, Macy Hartung had three hits out of the three hole. Brayley Lash added two hits and an RBI. Nevaeh Heath had a double and an RBI. Kylie Robinson had a single and RBI.

Oak Glen won its first game of the day on Friday by topping No. 3 Sissonville 4-1 in an elimination game. The Golden Bears scored once in the fourth and three times in the fifth to secure the win.

Carney had two doubles and an RBI for Oak Glen. Kynslee Landess added a double.

Holden went three innings with a walk and no strikeouts in a game which saw the Bears cycle its two pitchers. Carney went four innings, got the win and walked one with five strikeouts in four innings.

No. 2 Petersburg won the title with a 6-5 win over Logan in the title game.
