The Junction City Lady Jay softball downed Emporia 4-3 and 4-1 in a softball doubleheader at Cleary Field Friday night.

The Lady Jays got a three-run home run from Lindsey Kramer in the first game to go ahead 4-1. They then held off an Emporia rally in the seventh inning when Junction City stopped the tying run with a tag on a Lady Spartan runner at the plate by Lady Jay catcher Brittany Childs. That play had been set up by a strong, accurate throw from the outfield by Livi Dieselkamp to Childs near the plate.

In game two for Junction City Dieselkamp was the winning pitcher, while in game one the winning pitcher was Katie Holibaugh.

Junction City is 2-6 on the season, while Emporia fell to 0-8.  The Lady Jays will play at Manhattan Tuesday night.
