Leann Walzer scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning as Our Lady of the Sacred Heart rallied from a 3-0 deficit to claim a 4-3 comeback victory over Ursuline Friday in a non-section softball game played at Pigeon Forge, Tenn.

Walzer’s one-out single started the game-winning rally in the bottom of the seventh for OLSH. She moved to third when Ava Ciummo’s sacrifice bunt attempt was misplayed, putting runners at first and third.
Wasko popped out to short, leaving runners at the corners, and Eshenbaugh walked to load the bases, setting the stage for Walzer’s game-winning steal of home.
