CARTHAGE, Mo. — Nicole Hudson held Kearney to two hits Saturday in sparking Webb City to a 3-0 shutout and the championship of the Carthage Sportsworld Classic Softball Tournament.
Hudson struck out 11 and walked none as the Cardinals hiked their record to 23-3.
Webb City reached the final earlier Saturday by nipping Chillicothe 1-0 in eight innings. Under international rules, a runner (in this case, Shelby Stuck) was placed on second base to start the eighth. After Stuck was sacrificed to third and with two out, Brooklyn Farrell singled to drive home the decisive run.
In the other semifinal, Kearney nudged McDonald County 1-0.
Chillicothe defeated McDonald County 2-0 for third place and Carthage toppled Platte County 3-1 for fifth.
