Van-Far didn’t have any issues taking the extra base Tuesday night.
The Lady Indians won 17-5 in five innings at Marion County after finishing with nine extra base hits and seven stolen bases. Dalana Gay drove in five runs while going 3-for-5 with a double, Layla Ogden went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two doubles, McKenna Engh-Hoffman hit her first home run of the season while also hitting a double and stealing a base, Carmen Wilburn had three RBI and a triple, and Madelynn Caldwell finished 3-for-4 with two stolen bases.
Gay had a two-RBI double in the first inning before Van-Far cut loose with three runs in the second inning and seven in the third inning. Four of the Lady Indians’ doubles were recorded in the third inning, with Reeve Woodall, Ogden and Hailey Lowry all driving in runs while taking the extra base for a 12-1 lead.
Mara Jensen struck out six and allowed five unearned runs on three hits in five innings.
Wright City’s Clubb one hit short of cycle in Van-Far’s 10-5 loss
Lydia Clubb was one of a few Wright City hitters Van-Far had trouble with Tuesday, but she made the biggest impact.
Clubb went 3-for-5 with a home run, triple and double while Van-Far had two hits in the final two innings following the two-RBI home run from Clubb that made it 7-3 in the sixth inning. The Lady Wildcats had eight extra base hits.
Out of Van-Far’s 10 hits to match Wright City, Carmen Wilburn finished 3-for-3 with two runs scored, Dalana Gay finished 2-for-3 with a double and RBI while going seven innings in the circle, and Reeve Woodall had two doubles and an RBI.
Whenever the Lady Indians came close to catching up with Wright City (4-6 EMO), the Lady Wildcats went for extra bases to widen their lead. An RBI triple in the third inning followed Gay’s RBI single in the first inning, a two-run double followed Woodall’s RBI double in the third inning, and then Clubb’s home run followed McKenna Engh-Hoffman’s RBI groundout in the fifth inning.
The Lady Indians finished with nine errors to allowed three unearned runs while Gay surrendered 10 hits and three walks while striking out four.
