CPHS Softball: Luttrell hits walk-off grand slam in 18-17 win over Jenks

/

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School softball team (11-5) got into a home run derby with No. 12 Jenks (18-16) Tuesday afternoon as the two teams combined for 35 runs on 35 hits in the eight-inning affair.

The Trojans led for the entire game till Rachael Jones tied it at 13-13 with a solo homer in the bottom of the seventh inning. Jenks responded by scoring four runs on two homers in the top of the eighth, but the Sandites loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning, scored one on an intentional walk, and secured the victory with a grand slam from Cowley County Community College-signed senior Elizabeth Luttrell.

Jenks scored six runs right out of the gate with a four-hit, two-walk, two-error first inning. Sand Springs loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning, but stranded three and scored only one run on a single from Makenna Skaggs.

Freshman Natalie Rodman hit a solo homer for Jenks in the second inning, then Raegan Rector went yard for the Sandites to make it 9-6 in the fourth. Chaney Hupp and Luttrell both smashed three-run dingers in the sixth, and Skaggs had a solo shot to make it 13-12. Golliday kicked off the extra inning with a solo blast, then Rodman scored three more.

Leading Sandite slugger Sabrina Usher never got to swing, receiving five intentional walks, but recorded three runs and the eighth-inning walk-in RBI. Luttrell led the Sandites in scoring with two runs and eight RBI. Rector went a perfect five-for-five at the plate, scoring five runs and two RBI.

CPHS Softball: Sandites in a slump, lose five on the road

/

After starting the season on a ten game win streak, the Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School slow pitch softball team (10-5) has fallen into a bit of a slump and lost their last five games.

4/8/19 CPHS 12 Tahlequah Sequoyah 11

The Lady Sandites edged out the fall fast-pitch State Champions from 5A No. 9 Tahlequah Sequoyah (13-10) by a single run Monday morning at the Jenks Festival. They took a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the first, but the Lady Indians scored four runs in the top of the sixth for the one-run lead.

Sand Springs outhit Sequoyah 19 to 16 with five extra-base hits. Sabrina Usher hit two home runs and a double and Raegan Rector tripled. Usher scored two runs and four RBI in the close win. Her first homer tied it at 2-2 in the bottom of the first and her second secured the walkoff victory.

4/8/19 Jenks 12 CPHS 1

Sand Springs suffered their first loss Monday afternoon against No. 16 Jenks (14-15), who they previously run-ruled 11-1 in the Haskell Tournament finals just three days prior.

Makenna Skaggs brought in Rector on a single in the top of the first, but the Trojans tallied six in the second inning to take the lead once and for all. The Sandites managed a season-low six hits, stranded six runners, and lost by run-rule after the top of the fifth. The Trojans intentionally walked leading-slugger Usher twice.

4/9/19 Tahlequah Sequoyah 7 CPHS 6

Next to avenge their prior loss was the Lady Indians from Sequoyah High School. Just like their prior day’s meeting, the game was decided by a single run Tuesday morning at the Broken Arrow festival.

Sand Springs scattered four singles for three runs in the top of the first, but stranded loaded bases in the second and the Trojans took the 5-3 lead with six hits in the bottom of the inning.

Skaggs reclaimed the advantage with a two-run triple in the fifth, then Sequoyah took it right back with an RBI single and an error for the final run of the game.

Madison Lee was a perfect three-for-three at the plate. Felicity Horn scored a team-high three runs, while Skaggs scored a team-high three RBI.

4/9/19 BAHS 7 CPHS 3

Perennial powerhouse No. 4 Broken Arrow (17-7) stumped the Sandites in three games over three days. On Tuesday morning they rallied from a 3-1 deficit with a four-run fourth inning. The Sandites actually outhit the Tigers eleven to ten but stranded eight.

4/11/19 BAHS 16 CPHS 8

The Tigers tallied four runs in the first inning, five in the second, and five in the third, dominating the game from the very beginning for a five-inning run-rule victory. They totaled fifteen hits to the Sandites’ eight, including seven home runs. Freshman standout Kyleigh Lamont went yard three times for the Tigers, including a grand slam.

Skaggs had a career day, going three-for-three at the plate with two doubles and a triple, scoring two runs and an RBI. She wasn’t done yet.

4/11/19 BAHS 15 CPHS 5

Skaggs’s hot streak continued into game two of the double-header, scoring a run and three RBI with a homer. It wasn’t enough, however. The Broken Arrow bats blasted five more out of the park and totaled sixteen hits, while Sand Springs only managed seven in the four-inning game. Rachael Jones also went yard for Sand Springs.

Elizabeth Luttrell pitched all six games this week and is 7-5 on the season.

NCAA Softball: Sydney Pennington hits home run, father catches it over the fence

/

Pennington scores in the Regional Championship game her senior season.

You could practice it a thousand times and it would never happen on purpose. But in game one of Oklahoma State softball’s series against the University of Kansas, sophomore standout Sydney Pennington hit a three-run homer over the left field fence, directly into the ungloved hand of her father.

Pennington is a 2017 graduate of Charles Page High School in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. She is seventh on her team in batting average at .292 and second in home runs. She has cleared the stadium nine times this season and sixteen times in her career.

Cowgirl softball fans often park their trucks in the grass just outside the left field fence to watch from their tailgates. In an 8-1 Friday victory, Pennington went yard and the ball found Brett Pennington ready and waiting.

The entire play was caught on camera and can be viewed below.

Brett is no stranger to division one athletics. A two-time undefeated high school wrestling State Champion, he was offered a full ride to wrestle for the Oklahoma Sooners before retiring from the mat due to asthma. He then went to Connor’s State for baseball before finally ending up in the Crimson and Cream from 1995-1996. Now he has added softball outfield experience to his collegiate resume.

The Pokes are 29-11 this season with a 7-2 conference record. They are ranked 16th in the nation and are second in the Big 12. Their only league losses are to No. 10 Texas and Baylor. They will return to action with a three-game series against Iowa State (22-15, 1-5) Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Ames.

Sydney Pennington is one of only five Cowgirls to play all forty games this season. She has 35 hits, 24 runs, 29 RBI, and a .938 fielding average. She was a Big 12 All-Freshman last season, playing left field and shortstop. She has been playing third base this season.

Pennington season highlights…

Hit a solo homer in a 3-0 win against Sam Houston State.
Hit an RBI single to take the lead in a 13-2 victory over Hofstra.
Hit an RBI double in an 8-0 shutout of Syracuse.
Homered in a 12-2 run-rule win over McNeese State.
Went yard in both games of a double-header sweep of No.24 Oregon.
Batted 3-of-4 with two homers in a 16-1 run-rule of Central Arkansas.
Had her fourth-straight multi-hit game in an 8-0 shutout of Samford.
Scored the lone run in a 10-1 loss to No. 22 Ole Miss.
Hit a three-run homer, a double, and 5 RBIs in a 21-2 run-rule of Baylor.
Went 3-of-4 with two doubles in a 7-3 win over Kansas.

CPHS Softball: Sandites win Haskell Tournament, run-rule Jenks 11-1

/

The Class 6A No. 14 ranked Charles Page High School slow pitch softball team (9-0) continued their undefeated start to the season Friday night, dominating No. 15 Jenks (8-11) in the Haskell Tournament finals. The Lady Sandites outhit their foes 14 to 5 in an 11-1 four-inning run-rule victory.

Sabrina Usher kicked off the night with a solo home run in the bottom of the first, but the Sandites really put it away in the second inning.

Three singles loaded the bases and the Trojans gave up runs on a walk and a single from Aliyah Taff. Raegan Rector hit a three-run triple to clear the bases, then came in on a triple from Felicity Horn. Horn scored on a line out by Usher and Mackenzie Bechtold hit a RBI single for a 9-0 advantage.

The Trojans finally got on the board in the top of the fourth thanks to a triple from Jaycee Watson, who tagged up on a line out.

Usher singled in Rector in the bottom of the fourth, Luttrell singled to load the bases, and Horn walked in to secure the ten-run margin and the win.

Luttrell got her sixth win on the mound this season, throwing five hits and no walks.

Sand Springs softball will return to action Monday at 1:30 p.m. when they rematch the Trojans in the first round of the Jenks Festival.

CPHS Softball: Sandites sweep Haskell Tournament pool, headed to Championship

/

The undefeated Class 6A No. 14 ranked Charles Page High School slow pitch softball team improved to 8-0 Friday afternoon, winning their pool at the Haskell tournament. They prevailed 10-5 against 5A No. 18 Berryhill (7-5), 14-2 against 4A No. 17 Haskell (11-13), and 6-2 against No. 19 Bixby (4-13).

The Lady Sandites scored in four out of five innings against Berryhill, outhitting their foes 15-7 with three home runs.

The Maidens loaded the bases with singles in the top of the first and scored one on an error but stranded three. Felicity Horn went yard in the bottom of the inning to take the lead once and for all. Sabrina Usher hit a single and Makenna Skaggs hit a second homer for a 4-1 advantage.

Avery Tanner scored on an RBI single from Raegan Rector in the second inning, Usher hit a homer in the third, and the Sandites loaded the bases in the fourth. Aliyah Taff doubled in two, Rector hit a sacrifice fly, and Taff scored on an error to make it 10-1. Berryhill tried to stage a comeback in the fifth, scoring four runs on three hits and two walks.

The victory over the tournament hosts was even more dominant as the Sandites outhit the Haymakers 17-5 for the run-rule victory in only three innings.

Haskell scored two runs in the first inning on RBI doubles from Elise Bowman and Chassi Dowdy, but those would be their only points of the game. Luttrell hit a three-run homer to score Horn and Usher, then Rachael Jones hit a three-run homer to score Skaggs and Bechtold for a 6-2 lead.

Hawkins scored on a sacrifice hit from Horn in the second inning and Usher hit a two-run homer on the next pitch. Bechtold scored two on a single to make it 11-2. With two outs and loaded bases in the bottom of the third, Horn hit a two-run single and Usher brought in Rector to secure the victory.

The game against Bixby was the lowest-scoring performance of the season for the Sandites and their first game without a home run, but it was enough. Taff (3-0) pitched five hits and four walks in the win.

Neither team scored in the first inning but Madison Lee scored Skaggs on a single in the bottom of the second, Bechtold scored on a fielder’s choice, and Hawkins hit an RBI single to score Tanner for the 3-0 lead.

Alyssa Galliart got the Spartans on the board, scoring on a single from Ashlyn Seager in the top of the third. The Sandites responded with two more runs in the bottom of the inning. Horn scored on a fielder’s choice and Bechtold batted in Usher on a single.

Bixby scored their final run in the top of the fifth when Betsy Bales scored on a fielder’s choice, and Rector scored the Sandites’ final run on a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the fifth.

Luttrell (5-0) got the wins against Haskell and Berryhill. She threw seven hits and three walks against Berryhill and five hits and no walks against Haskell. She also pitched one inning of relief against Bixby, walking two with one strikeout.
