CPHS Softball: Sandites fall 9-6 to Jenks in district action

The Charles Page High School fast pitch softball team (6-7, 2-1) dropped its first district game Monday evening, falling 9-6 to Jenks (7-3, 2-0). The teams were fairly evenly matched throughout the game, but a three-run homer in the third inning was more than the Sandites could overcome.

Jenks was first on the board with three singles and an error for a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second, but Sand Springs quickly responded. Aliyah Taff doubled, Madison Lee singled, and Jolee McNally walked to load the bases. Sabrina Usher hit a two-run single, Felicity Horn had a two-run double, and Drew Hawkins hit an RBI single for the 5-3 advantage.

The Trojans got back out front with a three-run homer. Taff doubled again and scored the Sandites’ final run on a catcher’s error in the fourth. Both teams stranded runners in the fifth, and Sand Springs stranded loaded bases in the sixth.

Jenks also loaded the side in the sixth and would have stranded them all were it not for an error in right field that allowed all three runners to score and seal the victory.

Taff (3-4, 7-10) went three-for-three at the plate, but got the loss on the mound with ten hits, three earned runs, one strikeout, and two walks.

Sandite Softball will return to action Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. in a district home game against Muskogee (2-4, 2-2). The Trojans will meet the only other undefeated district team in Owasso (9-4, 3-0) Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
