Ridge View girls fall to North Union 9-4

The Ridge View softball squad came within one win of the state tournament, bowing out to a very good North Union team in the region championship game last Monday at Swea City. The Raptors were the only team to score against the Warriors so far in the tournament, as North Union had shut out its previous opponents. Ridge View fell behind early, trailing 3-1 after the first inning. The Raptors closed the gap to 3-2 in the fourth inning, but the Warriors scored three runs in the fifth inning to extend the lead to 6-2.
