If you hear the Black Eyed Peas playing after a Warren County High School softball game, odds are the Lady Pioneers are celebrating.The Lady Pioneers have made it a habit of dancing in right field to the song “Dirty Bit,” and Monday was no different as Warren County celebrated a 3-0 alumni night win over the Franklin County Rebelettes.Sophomore Monica Lane pitched a complete-game shutout and Sarah Jacobs, Taylor Grissom and Morgan Frye all had RBIs as Warren County picked up its 18th win of the season.Monday night had a special ceremony prior to the game, as the Lady Pioneer booster club welcomed back former members of the program for the first alumni night.Over 30 players, including three from the inaugural 1984 Lady Pioneer softball team, were honored on the field prior to the Lady Pioneers facing off with Franklin County.After the celebration, the former Lady Pioneers were treated to a spectacular outing by Lane. The sophomore went all seven innings, scattering five hits while surrendering no runs and striking out three. Coach David Upton thought it was the best he has seen Lane pitch.“Monica did an outstanding job for us in the circle,” said Upton.
