Clayton and host West Johnston battled it out on the softball diamond Thursday night. Finally, Clayton senior Sara Harde sparked a three-run rally that led to a 4-3 victory.

Clayton pitcher Sarah Jackson, who pitched a seven-inning, no-hitter Wednesday night against East Wake, was back for all 12 innings, getting out of several tight spots.

In the bottom of the 12th, she earned the win after getting out of another tight situation -- the tying run on second with one out after giving up two runs.
