Battling a host of large school competition, the Lady Rebels scored an impressive 2-1 win over Class 5A state contender Coweta to begin play in the rugged Broken Arrow Festival.
Silo then dropped narrow verdicts to 6A Edmond North (6-5), Norman North (4-2) and Owasso (9-8).
Senior Kostina Tubby was stellar on the pitching rubber against Coweta, yielding one unearned run and just two hits over seven innings. She struck out seven and walked four.
Coweta took the early lead with a second inning run before Silo tied it in the third after a pair of hits from Paislee Johnson Nataleigh Fuller. That’s how it remained until the sixth stanza when Trinity Ford and LaRoche slapped backto- back doubles with two outs to grab the lead for good.
Fuller finished with three of the Lady Rebels’ seven hits.
A late rally by Silo came up just short against Edmond North as Ford’s RBI single in the final frame narrowed the gap to one but they left the tying run stranded. Tubby wrapped up with a team-high two hits.
Spotting Norman North a 4-0 advantage, the Lady Rebels sputtered offensively until the final inning when they produced three of their four hits in the contest on consecutive doubles from Neely House, Tubby and Maddix Sander. The comeback bid fell short however.
It was a back-and-forth affair against Owasso but the Lady Rebels watched a 7-3 lead in the fifth frame slip away despite outhitting the Rams by a 14-8 margin.
House and Parri Garrett contributed three hits apiece with Tubby and Sander both adding a pair.
Calera
The Lady Bulldogs sandwiched a pair of wins around two shutout losses in their invitational tournament last week.
Calera blasted Ringling (145) and outlasted Wright City (4-3) in the victories while dropping 4-0 decisions to both Tushka and Caney.
In the Ringling win, Calera erupted with nine unanswered runs over the final three innings to break a 5-5 deadlock. Auhnesty Maytubby had a massive performance at the plate, smashing two doubles, a triple and drove in five runs. She also recorded the pitching decision, allowing no earned runs on four hits with seven strikeouts in the complete game. Taryn Niblett ended with two hits as well.
Maytubby tossed a one-hitter in the Wright City triumph as well, adding six strikeouts with three walks.
Cinsleigh Cole came up big offensively with two hits, including a double, as Kaira Beller also notched a double. Rilyn Teafatiller and Kiree Louis each added one hit as well.
Rock Creek
A terrific start to the season carried the Lady Mustangs to a big 12-1 decision over Colbert last week.
Rock Creek plated five runs in the opening inning and never looked back as Maddie Williams, Jeslyn O’Dell and Emma Gann all singled to start the game. Mahlia Venegas also contributed a runscoring hit later in the frame.
Back-to-back hits from Zoey Edgar and Kennedy Sullenger got one run back for Colbert but that was all the scoring for the Lady Leopards.
O’Dell contributed an RBI double and Kami Wilson knocked in another tally in the second before Rock Creek put it completely away with five more in the fourth fueled by O’Dell and Venegas doubles.
The Lady Mustangs totaled nine hits with three from O’Dell and two by Venegas. Williams, Gann, Wilson and Shaylie St. John had one apiece. Wilson also notched the pitching win, yielding only one run on five hits with six strikeouts.
