(6-1-23) Greenville comes up short of advancing to the D II State Softball Final losing to Tallmadge 6-5. The Green Wave had a 5-0 lead heading into the bottom of the 3rd inning…that is when Tallmadge started their comeback scoring in four of the last five innings.

Tallmadge would end Greenville’s dream in the bottom of the 7th when Ashlyn Severns (SS), with one out, singled in the game winning run.

Leading the Blue Devils was Leila Staszak (RF) who was 3 for 3, walked once and scored 3 runs.

Zoey Burns at the plate for Greenville was 1 for 3, including hitting a 3-run home run.

The Blue Devils will play for the state title on Saturday when they will play Canfield who beat Steubenville 2-1 in the other semifinal.
