District 4-4A

Dumas snaps losing skid

After hitting a recent rough patch, the Dumas Demonettes snapped a three-game losing streak by downing West Plains 15-5 on a very windy Monday afternoon at the Lady Wolves Softball Complex.

The win keeps Dumas right in the hunt at the top of the league race moving to 6-3 in District 4-4A and 21-6 overall. West Plains falls to 11-15-1, 2-7.

Aaliyah Chavez paved the way for Dumas going 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Melaney Granados had a homer, a triple and three RBIs and Briana Vargaz added a pair of doubles with an RBI. Despite the loss, Kaydence Singletary had a great outing for the Lady Wolves going 4-for-4 with two doubles.

Randall wins wild one over Pampa 

Randall held off a late seventh inning surge from Pampa to earn a thrilling 13-12 key District 4-4A victory at home on Monday afternoon.

The victory pulls Randall (19-10 overall) into a three-way tie for first place in the district with Pampa (15-4) and Canyon (10-14), which all now sit at 7-2.

Randall took a 13-9 lead heading into the top of the seventh only to see the Lady Harvesters start chipping away after a double by Carsyn Hunt made it 13-10, and an error scored two more runs cutting the deficit at 13-12. However, Lady Raider pitcher Berkley Browder was able to secure the win getting a pop out and a fielder’s choice to end the contest. Randall shortstop Sidney Soria was on fire at the plate going 3-for-6 and driving in a game-best six RBIs, while Lauren Garcia had a double, a homer and totaled four runs driven in. In defeat, Pampa’s Hallie Hawthorne had a home run on a 2-for-4 day with a pair of RBIs.

Canyon blanks Perryton

Canyon is now sitting in a tie for first place in the District 4-4A standings after blanking Perryton 15-0 at home on Monday.

The Lady Eagle tallied 12 total hits, four of those for extra-bases in the victory. Mikaila Gilliand was a perfect 3-for-3 at the dish with a double and three RBIs. Teammate Brenna Edwards also had three RBIs on including a home run.

Canyon moves to 10-14 overall and 7-2 in the league which is tied with both Pampa and Randall for first place. Perryton drops to 5-14, 0-9.
