Two home games on tap

The Wayne Lady Bulldogs were in Maud early this week for their conference tournament.

They picked up an 8-0 win over Konawa, but fell 11-9 to Maud. That loss moved them to the loser’s bracket where they played Stratford at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, after our press deadline.

Their record stands at 5-5

Emily Woody was the leader at the plate. She went 2-2 with two hits. Ryan had three ribbies.

Maud
