CPHS Softball: Sandites hit 5 home runs at Collinsvillle, Luttrell hits grand slam

The Charles Page High School softball team (19-6) had one of their best offensive performances of the season Tuesday afternoon in Collinsville, thumping the Cardinals 16-2 with five home runs and a grand slam.

The Sandites batted .441 with sixteen hits against Collinsville (18-11). Jacie Taber went four-for-four at the plate, and Madelyn Blair was three-for-three with two home runs. Jenson Arnold and Kimi Presnell also hit home runs, and Elizabeth Luttrell hit the Sandites’ first grand slam since the 2015 season.

Blair kicked things off with a solo homer in the top of the second. Presnell hit a two-run home in the third to score Taber, then Blair went yard to score Makenna Skaggs and Sabrina Usher for a 6-0 lead.

The Cards scored two runs on two singles and two errors in the bottom of the third, but those would be their only points of the game.

Taber and Madison Lee scored on a throwing error in the top of the fourth and Skaggs hit a sacrifice bunt to bring in Presnell.

Jenson Arnold hit a solo homer in the fifth, then Raegan Rector, Cameron Clemons, and Lee loaded the bases. Taber brought in Rector with a single, but the Sandites stranded three to end the inning 11-2.

Arnold reached on an error in the sixth, then Blair and Clemons hit singles to load the bases. Taber singled in Rector, then Luttrell scored everybody else.

Blair (8-2, 27-7) got the win on the mound, throwing four hits, four strikeouts, and two walks in six innings.

Sand Springs Softball will return to action Thursday at 5:00 p.m. with a home game against Oologah-Talala (25-5).
