Nocona baseball and softball had to reschedule their games against Jacksboro to Monday due to rain in the area Friday evening.
However, the Indians and Lady Indians were not fazed as both teams made short work of their opponent.
Despite entering the bottom of the first inning down a run, Lady Indian softball entered the second inning with a 6-1 lead. Lexi Reed smacked a key two-run double during the frame, scoring Sherese Price and Lexi Towery (a courtesy runner for Madilynn Cable).
A seven-run performance in the third carried the team to a 16-2 win in five innings. Kady Hackley powered a two-run triple during this frame, highlighting the Lady Indian offense.
Makayla Sandoval and Katelynn Walker were both 2-for-3 with three runs scored in the Nocona victory.
Madilynn Cable had a big game at both the plate and the mound.
Cable was 4-4 batting with two doubles, a triple and six runs batted in.
She also earned the win on the mound for Nocona, pitching a full and efficient game, needing only 80 pitches. Cable allowed two runs on five hits, walking three and striking out six.
Like Cable, Jaxon Phipps was strong on the mound and at the plate, leading Nocona to a 9-0 win over Jacksboro. Read more, and see box scores, in the mid-week Bowie News.
