NEW PHILADELPHIA — Reese Loveday scored on a fielder's choice in the bottom of the eighth inning to cap New Philadelphia's thrilling 2-1 win against visiting John Glenn in a battle of two East District softball powers on Wednesday at Tuscora Park.
The Division I Quakers (16-4) trailed 1-0 after four innings, but Loveday tied it with a two-out homer to center field.

After John Glenn failed to score in the top of the eighth, Loveday sparked the rally after being hit by a pitch. Miller then singled to right field and Ellie Mason was intentionally walked to load the bases with no outs. A strikeout followed, but Olivia Jackson's fielder's choice sent Lovejoy home.
John Glenn took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Alivia Boothe reached on a two-out single and scored when Wolford doubled.
