Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians softball team lost at Muenster on Monday night.
The Lady Hornets won 12-2 after six innings by run-rule against the Lady Indians.
Nocona came into the game following a big win against smaller Saint Jo and knew it could hang with Muenster if it could avoid having a bad defensive inning that got out of hand.
The Lady Hornets took the lead after the first inning 3-0 thanks to several hits and fielding error.
After a scoreless second inning, Muenster then took control as Nocona had an inning it was hoping to avoid. The Lady Hornets racked up seven runs in the inning and led 10-0 after three innings.
After another scoreless inning, the Lady Indians had some offensive success in the fifth inning. Tobie Cable and Avery Crutsinger had back-to-back RBI hits with two outs, with Crutsinger’s being a double.
It cut the lead to 10-2 and showed some life for the Lady Indians offensively after struggling for four innings.
Unfortunately, that was the only inning Nocona was able to bring in any runs. Muenster was held to one run in each in the fifth and sixth inning which was enough to stop the game early.
The Lady Hornets won 12-2.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers played a better game than the first time against Era at home on Monday.
The Lady Hornets won 12-6, pulling ahead in the final two innings despite the Lady Panthers leading after five innings.
Saint Jo lost by 10 runs the first time it played Era and with the team heading to the playoffs no matter the outcome to play schools its own size in a few weeks, a close game or even a win would be good for morale for the young team.
It was a scoreless first two innings before the third inning opened things up.
The Lady Hornets scored three runs thanks to a string of big hits all after the other to take the lead 3-0. Saint Jo answered the same inning. Payzlie Cervantes got on base thanks to an error at first base which allowed Nevaeh Spann to score who hit a single one batter earlier.
Following another fielding error from Era on the next batter Reagan Wilson, Taylor Patrick came through as she drove both base runners in with a single.
Saint Jo tied the score up at 3-3.
After a scoreless fourth inning, the Lady Hornets retook the lead as a single drove in one run to make it 4-3. The Lady Panthers answered quickly.
Spann was able to steal home to tie the game after earlier stealing third base. Patrick drove in another run when hit a sacrifice fly ball. Next batter Kayden Skidmore then grounded out the pitcher for out two, but it allowed another run to score from third base.
The Lady Panthers led 6-4 and were feeling good they would get their first district win in program history.
Unfortunately, Era was not going to make it easy.
The Lady Hornets answered with five runs in the sixth inning, retaking the lead with a lot of big hits to go up 9-6.
Saint Jo’s bats had answered back every time it had needed to all game, but unfortunately all the batters struck out.
In the seventh inning, Era added three more runs to its lead thanks to a couple of fielding errors and some key big hits. The Lady Hornets now led 12-6.
Saint Jo would need to have its best offensive inning and had the top of its lineup coming up. Unfortunately, the Lady Panthers all struck out again to end the game.
Era won 12-6.
