The Scioto Valley Conference saw some big shake-ups in softball and baseball standings Monday.

The Zane Trace Lady Pioneers traveled to Unioto and upset the first-place team in high school softball, 10-9, Monday. Unioto led 4-0 after two innings, however, Zane Trace started the third inning by putting up 2 runs.

Both teams would add more runs in the next two innings, but ZT senior Maggie Davis (pictured below) evened the score at 8-8 in the 6th, when she hit an RBI single with two outs.

ZT freshman pitcher Morgan Geno shut down Unioto's offense in the 6th and then came up with a clutch, 2-run homer in the top of the 7th with two outs to put the score at 10-8.

Unioto was able to muster up one run in the 7th, but fell short in the final score: 10-9.

Unioto pitched Gina Wright, Emily Ward, Erin Bane, and then went back to Ward, who took the loss.

Zane Trace, which improves to (7-2), had 10 hits, while Unioto (8-1) had 12.
