CLEMMONS — Watauga lost a heartbreaker 1-0 to West Forsyth Monday afternoon.

West Forsyth scored its run in the first inning and held on to win the game. The Pioneers (0-1) settled for two hits, including a double by Baker, and left seven runners on base.

“I was very pleased with our play tonight in our season opener,” Watauga coach Brian Vannoy said. “ I thought we played very well against a very strong team, considering we missed three days of practice for bad weather last week.”

Watauga pitcher Nicole Reilly allowed just two hits in the game, including an RBI single in the first. The Pioneers play a varsity-only game Wednesday at Wilkes Central at 4 p.m.
