Local softball teams see seasons end in regional tournaments
GLENPOOL — The Sallisaw Lady Diamonds lost both of their games in the Class 4A Regional Tournament on Thursday to see their season come to a close.
The Lady Diamonds fell 14-2 in five innings to the Verdigris Lady Cardinals, then lost 11-7 to the Cleveland Lady Tigers to end their playoff run.
The Lady Diamonds finished the season at 6-18.
In the loss to Verdigris, after a bases-loaded walk to Brinley Mills scored Natalie Gonzalez to make it 1-0 in the first inning, the Lady Cardinals scored seven runs in both the first and second innings for a 14-1 lead after two innings.
Jaycie Cox’s one-out, RBI double in the fifth inning scored Gonzalez to cut the deficit to 14-2, but it was not enough to end the game after five innings due to the game being in run-rule status.
In defeat, Gonzalez was 2-for-3 with two runs scored, Cox hit an RBI double and both Sydney Weedon and Channing Wilson doubled for Sallisaw.
Delaney Compton (5-12) took the loss. JoLee Curson went the final four innings with five strikeouts.
In the season-ending loss to Cleveland, the Lady Tigers scored twice in the first inning and four runs in the second inning for a 6-0 lead.
A two-run third inning and a single run in the fourth inning for the Lady Diamonds cut the Sallisaw deficit to 6-3 after four innings, but they got no closer as Cleveland responded with a five-run fifth inning to take an 11-3 lead after five innings.
A single run in the sixth inning and a three-run seventh inning helped rally the Lady Diamonds to within four runs at 117, but the rally died — and their season came to a close.
In defeat, Cox was 2-for-3 with a run scored, Wilson was 2-for-5 with a double, a run batted in and a run scored, Compton doubled with an RBI and a run scored and Weedon hit her eighth home run of the season with three RBIs for Sallisaw.
Compton suffered the loss, although she recorded four strikeouts in 4.1 innings. Curson went the final 1.2 innings.
