EARL WATT

   • Leader & Times

After dropping a road game earlier in the week to Great Bend by rune rule, the Lady Redskins returned home for a double header with the Lady Panthers and despite a solid effort in Game 1 of a double header, the Lady Redskins dropped both games.

Devaney Carter pitched Game 1 and kept the Lady Panthers scoreless for two innings before a pair of fielding errors led to a five-run inning for Great Bend.

The Lady Panthers pushed the lead to 8-0 with three more runs in the top of the fourth, and it appeared the Lady Redskins would get run-ruled. But the defense stiffened and only allowed one more run in the sixth inning.

The Lady Redskin bats started to come alive late, and after leaving the bases loaded in the fifth the Lady Redskins pushed a run across in the sixth and two more in the seventh before leaving a pair of runners stranded in a 9-3 loss.

Brooklyn Short, Allie Champion and Carter each had a hit, and Champion had all three RBIs.

Carter only allowed three earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three.

Chambers pitched two innings and allowed one run on one hit a walk and three strikeouts.

Liberal lost Game 2 by run rule, 12-0, after five innings.
