Five Ws in a row

Purcell dispatched Vanoss on the road last week 7-4.

“It was a good game where a lot of people were given opportunities to be involved. It’s nice to know if someone isn’t having a good day that someone else can pick them up,” head coach Sarah Jones said.

“Having depth on the bench and so many versatile players we use that to our advantage,” she continued.

“We left too many too many runners on base but made it happen,” Jones said of the Dragons stranding nine runners.

Ella Resendiz and MacKenzie McKay both had a pair of hits on the day.

Also getting hits were KK Eck with a double, Lauren Holmes with a triple, Payci Constant, Hadleigh Harp with a triple and Kailynn Helton with a double.

“We were savvy on the bases with four steals out of Whitaker, Harp and two from Constant.

Resendiz fanned 11 Vanoss hitters.

“She pitched a heck of a game,” Jones said. “We are proud of the team. They are having fun, learning constantly and getting better. More importantly, they are playing as a team.”

Games with Meeker and Crooked Oak were rained out.

Jones said she is trying to reschedule the Crooked Oak game and confirmed that Meeker will play a double header here September 20.

The Dragons were scheduled to host Chandler Tuesday and play at Chickasha today (Thursday) with contests with Chickasha and Cache.

Next Monday Purcell is scheduled to host Bethel and travel to Little Axe the following day.
