KW opened up defense of its class 2 state championship with a resounding win over perennial power, Rappahannock. Current JMU pitcher Taylor Johnson is the only player the Lady Cavs lost from last season, but in her place, they still have 2 solid pitchers in Jillian Smith and Payton Lewis. For the game, 3 KW pitchers combined for a 2 hitter, while Addie Kirby had a HR among her 2 hits, Payton Lewis had 3 hits and 4 RBIs, and every KW starter got at least one hit.
