COVINGTON – Covington held a 7-4 lead heading into the seventh inning, but things unraveled as Minster scored seven runs in its final at bat to hand the Lady Buccs an 11-7 loss.

Covington controlled the game in five of the seven innings, but the two innings where Minster put up four runs in the third and seven in the seventh was the downfall.

The Lady Buccs had more scoring opportunities throughout the final three innings, but just couldn’t find a way to put more runs on the board.
