Last Tuesday the Lexington Lady Bulldogs got a 10-9 win over Dibble in extra innings.

But, they dropped a 17-1 decision in Plainview on Thursday. And had an 18-10 loss to Davis on Monday.

“I love the competitiveness of the girls. We had a great comeback win over Dibble an we competed against Davis. This is what you want to see going into Districts,” head coach Steve Blair said.

To finish out the regular season, Lexington was in Purcell on Tuesday.

They will be in Calera today (Thursday) for Districts along with Holdenville.

Lexington’s Lady Bulldogs and the the Lady Wolverines play the first game at 1 p.m.

“I’ve told the girls that our whole season is in preparation for Districts. We’ve had a lot of experience and played a lot of great teams thanks to the tough competition we see.

“I believe we can go in there and if we play like I know we can, we can be in contention,” Blair said.

In the Dibble win, the Lady ‘Dawgs scored 10 runs on 18 hits.

Abby Turnpaugh, Madilyn Dunn, Izzy Pack and Marisa Northrup each had three hits apiece. Turnpaugh also had two ribbies.

Abi Clifton and Abby Sample each had two hits in the win.

The game was a tight one with both teams knotted at 9-all through seven innings. Dibble was held scoreless in the top of the eighth.

In the bottom of the eighth, with one out, Clifton got on base and ended up scoring the winning run for Lexington.

In Monday’s loss to Davis, Lexington scored 10 runs on 19 hits.

“That was a back and forth game. They got out to a three run lead and we chipped away, then they added more runs. When they score six, we were not able to answer.”

Leslie Barber, Kiely Givens, Abi Clifton, Ryli Harmon, Pack, Givens and Turnpaugh all had multiple  hits.

Harmon had the lone run scored in the loss to Plainview last week. Four Lady ‘Dawgs had hits in the loss – Abby Sample, Harmon, Clifton and Givens.
