Softball team swings into spring break with busy week

Leading into the spring break, the Lady Tigers softball team had a full week of games. In addition to their two scheduled district games, they were able to get in two days of the Brittany Tuck Invitational, so some teams could get in a few games to make up for the ones lost due to the bad weather cancellation a couple of weeks ago.

Dripping Springs is a couple of weeks into district play with a 4-1 record. The first was with Lake Travis. One of the favorites, the LT-DS game was one of the few that represents a true, low-scoring fast pitch game. Each team had two hits and DS was able to get a run in the fourth to win 1-0. Del Valle was the opposite with 28 hits in the 15-9 DS win.

In tourney play, the Lady Tigers came out with a 3-1 record. They downed Lehman 10-9 and Georgetown 5-4 on the first day. On the second they split their two games. Barbers Hill, a perennial power, took DS 9-1 and DS came back to take SA East Central 6-4.

Vs LT: Tatum Green knocked in Lauren Byrnes for the lone run. Emma Phillips and Lorelei Gamble got the hits. Green pitched four for the win. Sadie Bradford pitched the final four.

Vs DV: A 6-run fifth nailed the win. Hits: Bradford 3 (2b,hr), Green 3, Taylor Crain 2, Phillips 2, Gamble 2b,hr, Elianna Amato 2b. WP: Green 6.0, Bradford 1.0.

Vs Lehman: An 8-run fourth key inning. Hits: Amato 3, Green 3 (3b), Byrnes 2, Kira Preslar 2, Gianna Hauser 2b, Gamble HR. WP Green 4.2, Addy Knapp 1.1.

Vs G-town: Two runs in each of the last two innings did the trick. Hits: Phillips 2 (2b), Gamble 2 (HR), Bradford 2b,2b, Green 2b. Pitch: Bradford complete game winner.
