CHESAPEAKE — The Fairland Lady Dragons offense had trouble getting started. But that wasn’t a problem with Kaylee Salyer.

Fairland was held scoreless for 4 innings before getting its offense going in a 9-0 Ohio Valley Conference win over the Chesapeake Lady Panthers on Wednesday.

Salyer not only held Chesapeake scoreless for that same time period but for the remaining 3 innings as she fired a one-hitter that included 13 strikeouts and no walks.

Hannah Webb pitched well in defeat as she gave up 10 hits, only 4 earned runs as she struck out 8 and walked 6.

Fairland (13-3, 11-0) was led at the plate by Makena Black who was 2-2 with an RBI, Salyer 2-4 and an RBI, Katie Dehart 1-3 and 2 RBI, Katie Pruitt 1-3 and 2 RBI, Madi McKinley 1-1 and 2 RBI, Raelynn Chapman 1-1, Nikki Hayes 1-3 and Ally Shepherd 1-4.

MaKenna Brown had the only Chesapeake hit as she went 1-3.
