Lady Tiger Softball wins over LBJ and Lockhart

Article Image Alt Text
"The big blow was an inside the park homerun by Camille Corona."

The Lady Tigers took their usual run-rule wins over district opponents but then stepped outside the bounds to take on a strong 6A team to get ready for the playoffs. It was a ho-hum 15-0 in the LBJ game and then took a little longer with Lockhart 11-1.

LBJ did not help themselves with four errors but it was all Lady Tigers scoring in all four innings. A passed ball and error accounted for two, then 3 hits and hit batter for two more. Three hits and a walk put four more across. The fourth was fatal as 3 hits, 2 walks and error pushed seven more in. The big blow was an inside the park homerun by Camille Corona.

There was no more 7-inning game with Lockhart this time. DS would stop it at five. Lady Tigers were spot on with their hitting as they used all eleven of their hits to get their total runs with one, four, two and four runs.

It became a battle of the Lady Tigers as Dripping Springs took a Saturday jaunt to Belton. Both schools have weak teams to play in their district and relished the thought of getting to play a tough team. It was all it was meant to be as the DS Lady Tigers put the exclamation mark on the 8-inning game when Mackenzie Pierpoint had a walk off homerun to take the 5-4 victory. Even though the game was in Belton, DS played as the home team. Corona got the scoring started in the third with a single, stole second and scored on a two-base error. Jayna Reid would single in the fourth, steal second and score on Logan Hulon's single. Brooke Rummel singled, Corona tripled and Kyndall Womack singled to give DS a 4-1 lead. Belton's first run came on a homerun in the fifth. Two more scored in the sixth with a walk, fielder's choice and a double. Another walk, single and two-base error tied the game in the seventh to set up Pierpoint's heroics.
