Softball Roundup: Mayde Creek earns come from behind win over Tompkins

Posted

Mayde Creek earned a huge win over Tompkins on Friday, coming from behind to beat the Falcons 4-3. The win was a very important one for Mayde Creek, as it propelled the Rams to 10-5-1 overall and more importantly, 5-2 in district play, as Mayde Creek moved into a tie with Cinco Ranch for second place in district.

Alyssa Gonzalez was once again a huge part of the win, as she started on the mound and pitched a complete game, only giving up one earned run on seven hits while striking out eight and walking none to earn the win. Debanhi Carrizales was the driving force behind the Rams offense, driving in three of Mayde Creeks four runs.

Mayde Creek struck first in the bottom of the first inning, the Rams got a runner on base and Carrizales came up to drive it home with an RBI double. It took until the third inning for Tompkins to respond, but when the Falcons did they did in a big way. Meagan Brown tied tings on an RBI double before two more runs came across on an error to give Tompkins a 3-1 lead.

Things stayed that way until the sixth inning, when Mayde Creek found its breakthrough.

Carrizales tied things up with a two run homerun, and after a double from Julissa Aquino, Kima Sepic gave the Rams the lead on a single to center field. Tompkins had a final chance to tie things in the top of the seventh, but Gonzalez struck out two and pitched a clean half inning to seal the win.

Samantha Crumrin started and went over three innings on the mound for Tompkins, giving up one earned run on three hits to go with three strikeouts. Brown earned the Falcons only RBI of the night while Peyton Ebel led Tompkins with two hits. The loss dropped the Falcons to 9-6 on the season and 4-2 in district play.

Seven Lakes shuts out Paetow

Seven Lakes got another big win on Friday, shutting out Paetow 4-0 behind another big day on the mound from Amy Abke. The win moved  Seven Lakes to 6-10 on the year and 3-3 in district.

Abke allowed just one hit in the shutout, striking out 11 and walking three to earn the win and keep Seven Lakes right in the mix of a playoff spot early in the district schedule.

Seven Lakes grinded away offensively until they were finally able to get on the board in the fourth inning. The Spartans got two runners on base and were able to get one across as Emma Wingate hit an RBI single. The Spartans then doubled their lead in the sixth inning, as Michelle Taborda drove in a run on an RBI single of her own. Dulce Franco then sealed things in the top of the seventh, as Abke reached base on an intentional walk and Franco hit a two run homerun to make things 4-0. Abke then struck out two in the bottom of the inning to close things out.

Shy’lynn Brown started and went six innings for Paetow on the mound, allowing three earned runs on eight hits while striking out seven and walking two. Amanzda Vasquez got the Panthers only hit of the night. The win moved Paetow to 11-13 overall and 1-5 in district play.

Taylor tops Jordan

Taylor overcame Jordan to get an important win on Friday, shutting out the Warriors 2-0 to move to 10-8-1 on the season and 2-3 in district play.

Ari Hughes was huge for the Mustangs in the win, starting on the mound and pitching a complete game shutout, allowing only two hits while striking out 11 and walking none to earn the win.

Taylor got their first run early and it was all they would need because of its strong pitching, as Izzy Allen drove in a run on a triple to put the Mustangs ahead.

Things stayed that way until the fifth inning, when Kenna Irvin drove in the Mustangs second on an RBI single. That was all Hughes needed as she didn’t allow Jordan to come close to scoring the rest of the way.

Ryan McIntosh started on the mound for Jordan and pitched a complete game, giving up two earned runs on eight hits while striking out five and walking five more. The Warriors two hits came from McIntosh and Madeline Williams. Jordan fell to 9-7-1 overall and 1-4 in district with the loss.
