Lady Indians wrap up district play

The Comanche softball team wrapped up the district part of their season, finishing as district runner-up.

The Lady Indians had led the district much of the season, but a 6-0 loss at Lindsay last Tuesday, gave the Leopardettes the title and made the Lady Indians district runner-up.

What that means is Comanche will not host a regional this year. Instead, the Lady Indians will be traveling to Perry for the regional tournament. Perry and Comanche met up earlier this season when the Lady Indians traveled to Perry for a tournament. The two teams met up on the final day with Perry getting a 1-0 win in extra innings. The Maroon currently has the second-best overall record in Class 3A (29-5) with Washington (29-2) owning the best record.

Other teams in the Perry regional include Prague (17-9), the No. 3 team from District 3A-3, and either Bethel (18-13) or Little Axe (13-10) as the No. 4 seed from District 3A-4.

The Lady Indians are 23-8 overall heading into Senior Night on Thursday against Chickasha.

Monday night, the Lady Indians wrapped up the district part of the season with a 10-3 win over Davis to finish 11-1 in district play.

Lindsay 6,

Comanche 0

The Lady Indians could not get their offense going and the Leopardettes took advantage of three Comanche errors to score five unearned runs as they took the district title.

Comanche was retired in order in four of the seven innings.

Lindsay jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first and it would prove to be all they would need in the game.

Comanche’s biggest scoring threat was in the top of the fourth when both Raylee Chaney and Bre Gill each singled with Chaney making it to third before Lindsay recorded the third out.

The Leopardettes scored on back-to-back errors in the bottom of the fourth to increase their lead to 6-0.

Comanche threatened again in the top of the fifth when Jentry Whaley got a one-out triple, but a strikeout and a groundout ended the inning.

The Lady Indians then got two runners on the top of the sixth, but once again could not push the runs across.

Kamrey Rendon pitched all six innings for Comanche, giving up six hits and one earned run while finishing with five strikeouts and no walks.

Chaney, Mykayla Slovak, Gill and Whaley all had a hit each for Comanche.

Comanche 10

Davis 3

The game was tied 4-4 after four innings, but the Lady Indians would score four runs each in the fifth and sixth innings to pull away for the win.

Davis grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first before Comanche scored twice in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead for the first time. Brighton O’Connor, who would go on to finish with four RBI in the game, drove in her first run on an RBI single. Mykayla Slovak would add a sacrifice fly later in the inning for the second run.

Davis tied the game up in the top of the third and the game remained that way until the bottom of the fifth when O’Connor’s two-run home run over the left field fence highlighted a four-run inning and a 6-2 lead.

One inning later after Davis had scored another run, Comanche put the game away with their last four runs. Bre Gill had an RBI single, O’Connor picked up her fourth RBI of the night and Whaley had a two-RBI single.

Both O’Connor and Gill were 3-for-4 in the game as Comanche pounded out 14 hits. Raylee Chaney, Josey Harris and Whaley had two hits each.

Rendon picked up the win, giving up no earned runs on six hits while striking out two and walking none.
