LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
After dropping the first game of a double header 9-1, the Lady Redskins rallied for a 17-7 run-rule win in the nightcap.
Dodge City took a 4-0 lead in the second inning, but Liberal cut the lead in half in the bottom half of the inning.
Dodge jumped out 6-2 before the Lady Redskins scored nine runs, all with two outs, in the third and added five more in the fifth to take a 16-7 lead.
Trying to get the ball in the Dodge City net from inside the box proved to be difficult Thursday in the regular season finale for the Lady Redskins, so they decided to shoot from outside. It worked, and the Lady Redskins upset the Western Athletic Conference champion Lady Red Demons 2-1 in double overtime.
After a scoreless first half, the Lady Redskins couldn’t get clean shot on goal for the first 25 minutes of the second half, and the Lady Red defense didn’t allow any breakaway opportunities for Dodge City, either.
The Lady Redskins worked hard to get one goal into the Garden City net Tuesday at Redskin Field in a 1-1 draw.
After giving up a penalty kick in the first half against Garden City, the Lady Red defense didn’t allow another goal the rest of the game.
But the Lady Buffalo defense was just as stingy.
The Lady Redskins had a slim 3-2 lead midway through the fifth inning against Dodge City Tuesday in a key Western Athletic Conference road game, but a late collapse allowed the Red Demons to come away with a 13-3 run rule win.
Liberal got on the board first with a run in the top of the first inning, but the Lady Red demons answered with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the frame to take the lead.
For the first three innings, it may have looked like Liberal was trying to give the game away. With several catches dropped and plays not made, the Redskins found themselves trailing 6-1 against Western Athletic Conference foe Dodge City.
But the Redskins rallied late to overcome the miscues for a 7-6 win.
