The Legion Collegiate Academy softball team fell to Mountain View Prep 8-3 on Wednesday night at Winthrop's Terry Field complex. 

The Lancers' record falls to 7-6-1 with the loss.

MVP got on the scoreboard first in the opening inning with the help of an error, but the Lancers came back to tie the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the inning on a solo home run to left field by Gracyn Hagler.

Mountain View Prep took the lead for good in the top of the second inning at 4-1. The Lancers trimmed the deficit to one run in the bottom of the third when they scored two runs to make it a 4-3 game, but that would be all the runs they could muster

Brynley Gaa took the loss for Legion Collegiate Academy Varsity Lancers. The right-handed pitcher went six innings, surrendering five runs (two earned) on nine hits, striking out five and walking none.

Braley Richardson, a seventh grader, pitched and batted the MVP Stars to the win. She had three runs batted in while going 2-for-3 on the day.
