Mustang softballers begin season 4-3
Caleb Soptelean
Mustang got on the board early but couldn’t hold on against the Westmoore Jaguars in a 5-1 loss on Thursday.
The Broncos scored a run in the top of the first inning and the hosts tied it up with a run in the bottom of the third.
The bottom dropped out for the Broncos in the fifth inning, however, when Westmoore plated four runs.
Catcher Julie Laughlin picked off a runner at third base in the first inning and centerfielder Autumn Foley threw out a runner at home plate in the third to avert two scoring threats.
Ashley Paxton started and took the loss.
Mustang followed up with four wins and two losses at a Broken Arrow tournament over the weekend.
Coach Jerry Long was relatively pleased with his team’s 4-3 start. The team’s losses came against Top 10 5A and 6A teams, he said.
“We’re playing pretty good ball and improving daily.”
The Broncos defeated Tahlequah 7-0, Tulsa Union 2-1, Western Heights 6-2, Sapulpa 10-0 and lost to Skiatook 4-1 and Broken Arrow 3-0.
Picking up wins were Julie Brunk, Ashley Paxton (2) and Jordan Noblitt. Taking losses were Noblitt and Foley.
Foley had a fine tournament offensively by smacking three hits against Skiatook, two against Tulsa Union and two against Western Heights. These included a triple and two doubles.
Heather McKinney, Kylee Rounsaville and Christina Wilson each had two hits against Tahlequah, while McKinney added two against Tulsa Union.
Catcher Julie Laughlin and shortstop Tori Joyner both went 3-3 against Sapulpa, while Rounsaville and Kelsey Newby each had two hits in the game.
Mustang managed only two hits against Broken Arrow.
MHS played Putnam City North on Monday and will host the Mustang Tournament of Champions on Friday and Saturday at Wildhorse Park.
Next week, the Broncos play at Putnam City West on Monday and host Choctaw on Tuesday.
Games with Edmond North and Edmond Santa Fe set for Aug. 14-15 were rained out. The game with Edmond North has been rescheduled for Sept. 20 at home.
