PARIS ROUNDUP: Softball bounces back from loss in 12-1 win vs Mark Twain, girls golf opens season

Posted

Tuesday’s home game for Paris softball was a polar opposite result from Monday’s contest.

The Lady Coyotes were shut out at home on Monday by Louisiana but responded with a 12-1 five-inning victory on 10 hits against Mark Twain (0-2) on Tuesday. 

Reese Sutton hit the game-winning home run via a two-run blast in the first inning to make it 3-1 at the time. Other Lady Coyotes (1-1) contributing good offensive games were Knightlee Mitten by going 2-for-3 with three RBI and a double, Hope Sutherland by going 1-for-3 with two RBI and a double, Emma Ashenfelter by going 3-for-3 with three stolen bases and a RBI, and Jaclyn Shoemyer by going 2-for-2.

Kennedy Ashenfelter pitched five innings while allowing one unearned run on three hits and no walks and striking out five.

On Wednesday at South Shelby, Paris committed six errors to allow 11 unearned runs in a 12-3 loss. Ava Crain allowed four hits and two unearned runs and struck out three in six innings. Kennedy Ashenfelter had two RBI, Emma Ashenfelter walked four times, and Maura Crusha walked three times.

Paris hosts Cairo today before going to North Shelby to play at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Paris girls golf opens season

The Paris girls golfers have teed off this season.

The Lady Coyotes opened their season on Monday in Salisbury and at home on Wednesday. They didn’t have a team score at either meet due to having three golfers, but Riley McKinney finished sixth in the individual standings in the Salisbury meet.

In Salisbury, Fayette won the team competition with a score of 229 while Salisbury’s Averie Wilhoit won the individual prize with a 49. Gracie Henry had the next best Paris score of 68, and Miranda Billings shot a 70.

In Paris’ home meet, Cairo won with a 207, and Macie Harman had an individual-best score of 50. The Lady Coyotes’ scores were McKinney with a 62, Henry with a 64 and Billings with a 68.
