Layman, a 15-year-old ninth-grader for Glenvar, won her eighth consecutive game with an 11-strikeout three-hitter as the Highlanders beat James River 8-0 to win the Region C softball championship Friday at the Moyer Sports Complex.
Glenvar (16-7-1) claimed its fifth regional championship in the past six years with its eighth straight win. The Highlanders will make their sixth consecutive Group A tournament appearance when they play host to the Twin Springs-St. Paul loser next week.
Region C baseball
In Covington, David Henderson pitched six strong innings and Joey Taylor got Glenvar out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh as the Highlanders won their second straight Region C championship by handing Castlewood its first loss of the season, 5-2.
Region IV baseball
In Hillsville, Carroll County scored the winning run on a balk by Gate City pitcher Brian Wolfe in the bottom of the seventh inning to cap a three-run rally, as the Cavaliers beat the Blue Devils 5-4 to win their first Region IV championship.
Carroll County (18-4), which set a school record for victories, trailed 4-2 entering the seventh but tied the score on Tony Berrier's two-run ground-rule double. Berrier advanced to third on Jason Kilbourne's groundout and scored when Wolfe did not complete a pickoff throw to first after he walked Willie Bryant intentionally.
Ray Briggs homered for Carroll, which is host to Region III runner-up William Byrd in the Group AA tournament next week. Shannon Carter hit a two-run homer for Gate City, which travels to Region III champion.
