Referece Martinsville Bulletin, May 29-2011-Patrick County High wins 3-1 over Tunstall in District Tournament.

Sunday, May 29, 2011 By CHASE YOUNG - Bulletin Sports Writer STUART — Excitement, elation, and possibly a pinch of relief. Those adjectives — as much as three words can — describe the sound that echoed from Patrick County’s dugout following Saturday’s 3-1 win over Tunstall in the Piedmont District tournament final. “It’s very exciting. We’ve been working for the district regular-season and the tournament titles for a long time,� said Patrick County shortstop Kylene Culler, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI. “We came out strong in the district, and it was very exciting to be able to finish it here on the field.� During a Memorial Day weekend that saw a slew of Lady Cougars graduate, PCHS capped its Saturday by ending a PD title drought that began back in 2004, while in the process extending this season’s win streak to 15 straight. “I’d say this is the best day of my life,� said Stovall. “I was definitely ready for this game, and it definitely adds to the day. Another one of our goals are met. Ready to move on into regionals,� she added. Backed by Stovall’s effort on the mound and Culler’s production at the plate, Patrick County (18-4 overall) managed a quick comeback to top Tunstall and gain momentum heading into Tuesday’s first round of regional play.
