Lady Yoe can’t generate runs in pair of defeats

If you look at the box score from Friday’s road tilt with rival Rockdale, it would show that both teams ended the night with five hits.  But, on this night it was the Lady Tigers that made them count the most in a 8-2 win.  

Rockdale went up early when three-hole hitter Karley Leopold hit a solo home run to left.  Rockdale added three more in the second after an error.  

Kenzie Wimmer continued her hot streak of deep balls in the third by sending one over the center field wall, scoring herself and Alejandra Ibarra.  

Rockdale would add on single runs in the third and fourth and then a two-spot in the sixth to create separation.  

Friday’s 20-3A Results: Rockdale 8, Cameron Yoe 2; Academy 4, Lexington 2; Jarrell 10, Franklin 0.  Rogers over Hearne.  

Academy

When you out-hit your opponent by more than four times, you generally expect to win most of those games.  

Unfortunately for the Lady Yoe, they did just that, with a 9-2 advantage in the hit category on Academy on Tuesday, but it was 8 errors that proved to be costly in the 6-0 road loss.  

Academy scored three runs in the bottom of the 2nd on four of those miscues.  No hits were recorded in the inning.  Three more errors in the third and one single plate three more to extend the lead to 6-0.  

Academy would just muster one more hit in the final four innings.  Cameron’s top four batters - Brittaney Hatter, T’maja Oges, Kenzie Wimmer and Madison Brunson - totalled 7 hits on the evening - but it never materialized into production.  

Brunson pitched all six innings,  gave up only two hits and zero earned runs against the defending state champs.  

Monday’s/Tuesday’s 20-3A Results: Academy 6, Cameron Yoe 0; Rogers 9, Rockdale 0; Jarrell 5, Lexington 4; Franklin over Hearne.
