The Lady Bulldogs beat Healdton, 19-6, then Vanoss, 9-7, then Stratford, 15-14. They turned around and faced Stratford again in the championship game and beat the other Lady Bulldogs, 18-8.

“Right now, as long as we keep playing good defense and hitting the ball we’ll stay in the games and give ourselves a chance,” said head coach Charles Durrence.

They also added wins over Konawa, 14-1, and Earlsboro, 13-0, during the Wayne festival last week. 

The Lady Bulldogs fell to Wynnewood 9-7.

Next up, Wayne was the victor in a back and forth game with Vanoss. The Lady Bulldogs pulled out the 9-7 win.

With 16 hits in the game, Wayne’s bats continued to work for them.

Trejo, Brazell and Emily Woody each had three hits.

Mantooth was once again in the circle for the Lady Bulldogs. She allowed seven runs on 11hits.

During the Wayne festival, the Lady Bulldogs’ bats were hot. Through three games they  had 48 hits and 35 RBIs. 

Several girls had multiple hits and RBIs in each of the games over the last week.

Allie Walck had three ribbies against Konawa, Emily Woody and Kaylee Madden had three against Earlsboro and Faith Brazell had three in the loss to Wynnewood.

Following the Conference tournament on Monday and Tuesday, Wayne was scheduled to host Bowlegs and Elmore City on Thursday. The Lady Bulldogs will be in Wynnewood to face the Lady Savages on Friday.

“We need to keep our heads focused and continue to do the little things to keep succeeding,” said Durrence.

“Our one to 10 batters are all hitting well and as long as that continues, we’ll have success.”
