Hayley Weaver singled and scored from third base on a fielder's choice to lift Altoona to a 7-6 season-opening, eight-inning high school softball victory over Lewistown at the Logan Elementary Field Monday.
Weaver singled, advanced to second on Madeline Berry's single, and both runners advanced on a passed ball before Weaver scored the game-winner when Brooke Kudlawiec bounced into a fielder's choice.
Amanda Parrish and Didi Rizzo each had two hits and knocked in a pair of runs for Altoona, which also got two hits from both Weaver and Berry.
