The Lady Cats’ softball team fell behind by a 4-0 score after two innings before scoring six unanswered runs to defeat the Texas High Lady Tigers, 6-4 Tuesday night at Lady Cat Park.
Texas High scored all four of their runs in the top of the second inning. The Lady Cats got two runs back in the bottom of the third and then grabbed the lead with four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Both teams had six hits. The Lady Tigers made two errors and the Lady Cats one.
The big blow in the Lady Cats huge four run sixth inning was a triple by Alli Fite as three runs scored. Fite was 1 for 2 with one run scored, a walk and two RBIs. Five other Lady Cats got singles: Alyssa Abron, Kelsey Wallace, Sadie Stroud, Kate Womack and Karlee Adams. Abron, Wallace, Womack, Adams and Macee Hollins also scored runs. Hollins also walked twice and Abron also walked once. Abron and Wallace also stole a base.
Bailey Haggerty got the pitching win going seven innings allowing 4 runs and 6 hits while striking out 5 and walking 2. The Lady Cats improve to 5-0 in district play and they are 18-4 for the season.
The 5-0 district start is the best ever by a David Carrillo-coached Lady Cats team. After an open date Friday, the Lady Cats go to Mount Pleasant next Tuesday night. That game will complete the first half of district play.
