Monday night Nikki Herrin and her Lady Bulldogs were in Ada and they picked up a 15-13 win over the 5A Cougars.

“The girls showed a lot of fight. Ada kept pushing back, but the girls kept fighting and putting more runs on the board,” Herrin said.

Wayne got on board first, scoring two in the top of the first, three in the top of the second and two more in the top of the third.

Ada answered with five runs in the bottom of the third.

Wayne’s bats were hot and they added six more runs through the next three innings.

Ada made things interesting and tied it up 13-all going into the seventh inning.

Faith Brazell hit a solo homerun to pull ahead. Another run scored to give Wayne the 15-13 lead and eventual win.

The Lady Bulldogs had 20 hits including three homeruns. Brazell had her swat in the seventh. Kaylee Madden had a grand slam in the fourth and another long ball in the sixth.

Madden had a team-high seven ribbies.

“We had a good hitting day. We were glad to have runners on base when we hit our homeruns,” Herrin said.

Last week, Wayne got a 12-0 win over Crooked Oak on Thursday.

They had nine hits in the win from nine different players. Alyssa Hobson, Emily Woody, Allison Ryan, Zoe Overley, Lily Whitaker, Jordynn Debaets, Ava Stottlemyre, Madden and Brazell each had a hit.

Madden and Ryan’s hits were homeruns.

Last Tuesday, Wayne dropped a 5-0 loss to Lexington.

“We were hitting the ball, but it was right to them most of the time. Lexington was hitting the gaps better than us in that game,” Herrin said.

Wayne finished the game with six hits. Two from Ryan  and one each from Woody, Madden, Brazell and Brysten Shephard.

The rest of the week is packed for the Lady Bulldogs.

Tuesday night they were scheduled to host Lindsay. Then they travel to Allen on Thursday for a three-way with Allen and Byng.

Friday is a doubleheader with Konawa.

Monday and Tuesday’s games are up in the air. Herrin is looking for replacement games for Stratford and Central for Monday and Tuesday.

District pairings are out and the Lady Bulldogs will be in Stratford along with Mangum. Wayne plays at 1 p.m against Mangum. The loser of game one will play Stratford after.
