GENTRY -- The Lady Pioneers lost to Prairie Grove last week but came back to pick up wins over Lincoln and Gravette.

The Lady Pioneers added another run in the bottom of the fifth. Jaime Pierce doubled to center, bringing in Brooke Boston, who had walked.
Lindsee LaBrecque pitched for the Lady Lions, striking out seven but allowing six hits and three runs. Alyssa Kelton, pitching for the Lady Pioneers, struck out five and only allowed two hits and a solo run.
Brooke Boston was two for two for the Lady Pioneers. Jaime Pierce hit a double and Courtney Brown a triple.
