In the key play in this past Tuesday’s home win over Maryville, junior utility player Charley Peniston of the state-ranked 2024 Chillicothe High School softball Lady Hornets efficiently handles a high pitch to put down a sacrifice bunt intended to advance pinch-runner Bryleigh Gillespie from second to third base with no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning of a still-scoreless Midland Empire Conference game at Daryl Danner Memorial Park. The play produced a larger harvest than hoped when Maryville’s throw to first got away, letting Gillespie – running for Ali Probasco, who’d led off the inning with a single to center field – score and Peniston to reach second.
