CPHS Softball: Sandites go undefeated at BA Tournament, beat Bristow 4-1

The Charles Page High School varsity softball team has been to the State Tournament five straight years, including a State Runner-Up performance in 2015, but none of those teams got off to as hot of a start as this year’s team. The Sandites are 7-0 after their first week, their best opening run since at least 2012. 

Four of those wins came in this weekend’s Broken Arrow Tournament. Broken Arrow’s Arrowhead Park was too wet to play at so the girls got to host their pool of competitors, and defeated Silo, Mustang, Edmond North, and Bristow to remain perfect on the season. Moore, Southmoore, and Coweta won the other pools, but there was no bracketed placement round.

Senior pitcher Aliyah Taff (5-0, 22-14) got the win against Bristow Saturday night, throwing two hits, one walk, and four strikeouts in six innings. 

Nataley Crawford got the Sandites on the board with a two-run double to score Makenzie Burks and Drew Hawkins in the bottom of the second. Abby Morgan scored Bristow’s only run on an error in the fourth, but the Sandites responded by loading the bases in the fifth. Taff and Jaden Jordan hit RBI singles to score Madison Lee and Avery Tanner for the final runs of the game.

The Sandites managed eight hits with three walks but stranded seven runners and committed two errors. McKenna Ingram got the loss in the pitcher’s circle with four strikeouts and three walks.

Sandite softball will look to continue their hot streak Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. when they travel to Sapulpa (0-2) for a district rivalry game.
