MORGANTOWN — Morgantown scored three times in the bottom of the fifth and Maddie Wisman made them stand up despite a late Wheeling Park rally for a 3-2 win in the opening game of the W.Va. Class AAAA, Region I, Section I Tournament.

With the loss, the Patriots will face John Marshall Thursday in an elimination game in Glen Dale. The first pitch is set for 5. That winner will need to defeat the Mohigans twice for the title.

Wheeling Park was limited to five singles. Grace Tamburin drove in one of its two seventh-inning tallies.

Liz Alsop belted a two-run double and Gracie Robinson singled twice to drive in a run.
