Clarke softball split games at Creston

Clarke softball participated in the John Stephens Classic on Saturday in Creston.

In the afternoon at Southwestern Community College, the Lady Indians took down the East Union Lady Eagles in an 11-1 victory.

Though the Eagles looked to keep it close, responding to a 3-0 lead with a run of their own in the second, they gave up eight runs in the bottom of the second to dig a hole they couldn’t climb out of.

Putting up the Eagles’ only run of the game was senior pitcher Tristan Lear. In the circle, she struck out two batters, walked eight and allowed eight hits.

Abbi Nash pitched for Clarke, striking out six batters, allowing two walks, one hit and one run.

Three Clarke players scored two runs, Maisy McCoy, Miah Graves and Avery Watson. Graves and Watson both logged triples in the win.

Graves, Reese Shaw and Parker Truitt each had two RBIs.

Other scorers for the Indians were Shaw, Ahynka Hewlett, Maddie Youngs, Truitt and Claire Jacobsen.

Game two was played against Dallas Center-Grimes, in which Clarke fell 15-0 in four innings with Lady Mustangs putting up four in the first inning, seven in the second and four in the third. With Clarke up to bat 13 times, only three batters got one hit off - Hewlett, Youngs and Jacobsen.

The Lady Indians moved to 5-8. They had an 11-6 win over Knoxville last Monday followed by a 14-6 loss to Winterset Tuesday, 5-2 loss to Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Thursday and a 5-1 loss to Dowling Catholic on Friday.
