CHECOTAH - Amy Smith won a pitchers' duel and Ashley Covington provided the winning hit as Sallisaw topped Checotah 2-0 in 10 innings on Thursday.
The game, which was part of a three-way tripleheader with Hartshorne, was scoreless for the first nine innings until second baseman Covington broke the deadlock with a two-run double in the top of the 10th.
Shelby Morgan led off the inning with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice by Heather McCawley. Molly Hadley's single to right field put runners at first and third for the Lady Diamonds. Covington faked a bunt to draw in the Checotah defense and, on the next pitch, ripped a base hit into left field to drive in the winning runs.
That gave the win to senior pitcher Smith, who went the full 10 innings. The right-hander scattered eight hits while striking out seven and allowing just one walk.
