What a Tuesday night for softball. Two major battles that lived up to all the hype with Mustang edging Yukon and Little Axe coming from behind to take down Purcell.
The difference was just a solo HR by Kayla Ratliff for Mustang to beat the top-ranked and undefeated Millerettes at Yukon. Heard both coaches raving about the environment. Must have been a real special scene.
For Little Axe, it was the heroics of Peyton Watson in the seventh and Lacey Williams in the eighth to beat Kayla Wyatt. Watson hit a two-run bomb in the seventh and Williams hit a three-run blast in the eighth.
Your mover and shaker of the week is Shawnee as the Wolves have found their footing and have won seven of their last eight games.
Todd Boyer always does an outstanding job with Shawnee, but this might be his best effort yet.
Wednesday isn’t normally a big softball day but we have Washington and Purcell doing battle as a pair of top-ranked clubs go at it.
After that, it’s all about the OU Tournament at the University of Oklahoma Softball Complex and Reaves Park. What a special environment that’ll be with 6A’s No. 1 and 2 (Yukon and Mustang) to go with 5A’s No. 1 and 2 (Lawton MacArthur and McAlester). Whoo.
Here are just some of the pool play games this weekend: Lawton Mac vs. McAlester; Lawton Mac vs. Mustang; Mustang vs. McAlester; Little Axe vs. Sasakwa; Little Axe vs. Moore; El Reno vs. Purcell; El Reno vs. Davenport; Carl Albert vs. Yukon; Carl Albert vs. Red Oak.
No. 1 teams: 6A – Yukon; 5A – Lawton Mac; 4A – Catoosa; 3A – Purcell; 2A – Washington; A – Fletcher; B – Moss.
