Lady Pirates on top during Week Three of season

Body
Week three came with a big win on Tuesday over a very competitive Harrah team who was slated to be number two in Bristow (number one)'s district. The Panthers took the lead in the top of the first inning with a two run homerun. In the bottom of the third inning the Lady Pirates were able to tie the game on a clutch, two run single by sophomore Ava Yocham. With two outs, sophomore Hayden Haulcomb walked, followed by a Kinzie Williams single to left field which brought up Yocham. In the sixth inning the Lady Pirates pulled away, adding four runs to their two, starting with a leadoff single by Williams. Singles by McKenna Ingram and Jazmyn George followed, and the Pirates added more pressure with a walk by Abby Morgan and Albaney Pritchard being hit by a pitch, which brought up Molly Gill, who doubled to score George and Morgan. Ingram was the winning pitcher, lasting all seven innings allowing two runs and striking out ten.

Morgan pitches 14-0 shutout

Body
In week two the Lady Pirate softball team improved to 9-2. Over the weekend they competed in the Kellyville Festival, where sophomore Abby Morgan pitched a 14-0 shutout against Beggs and McKenna Ingram shut down Poteau 4-1 in a rematch of last year's Regional Playoff. On Tuesday the Lady Pirates had a district matchup with Berryhill and had them down 4-0 until the top of the seventh inning, when the Maidens tried to fight back and collected four runs of their own to tie the game. Ingram struck out 18, but some timely hits late had Berryhill back in the game. In the bottom of the eighth the Lady Pirates sealed the win with a bases loaded walk by Morgan, who in the same game launched the first Pirate homerun of the season. After the first eleven games Ava Yocham and McKenna Ingram continue to lead the Lady Pirates at the plate, hitting .545 and .536 respectively, with only two strikeouts between them.
