Mexico softball won its first game on its new turf surface on Tuesday.
Two days after finishing the Peoples Bank Back to School Classic in Sullivan 0-5, the Lady Bulldogs defeated North Central Missouri Conference foe Marshall 13-5. Mexico (1-5, 1-0 NCMC) scored nine runs in the first three innings and were led by a 3-for-4 four-RBI day from Landri Teel. Teel hit a three-RBI home run off the lightpost in left-centerfield in a four-run third inning. Payton Shaw went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a double, Scottie Smith was 2-for-5 with a three-RBI double in a five-run first inning, and Maddy Feger walked three times and scored three times from the leadoff spot. Aidyn Wilcoxsin and Haven Casteel each had two-RBI home runs for Marshall (2-2, 0-1 NCMC).
Mexico plays at 5 p.m. Wednesday at district foe Bowling Green (1-3).
