Rangers Blank Lady Trojans Twice in Home Finale

SENATOBIA – Northwest shutout Mississippi Delta 5-0 and 8-0 on Thursday afternoon in its regular season home finale to clinch home-field in the first round of the softball state playoffs next weekend.

Northwest improved to 25-7 overall and 18-4 in the division and has not allowed a run its last three games.

Kiley Dunagan, Jessica Holliday, Micalah Beall and Peyton Rico scattered six hits over 13 innings and struck out 19 Lady Trojans on the day. Dunagan (8-2) and Holliday (9-1) each picked up wins, while Beall got a save in the opener.

Thirteen different Rangers had at least one hit on the day, led by Erin Claire Stegall who was 3-for-6 with two RBIs.

(Game 1) Holliday tossed four innings of three-hit ball and scattered seven strikeouts before Beall came on to toss the final three with four strikeouts and no hits allowed for the save.

The Rangers scored single runs in the first and second for an early 2-0 lead, using an RBI-double from Carla Avant and sacrifice fly from Christina Berryhill.

Beall's RBI-single in the fifth, followed by Heath Griffith's RBI-groundout and Hanna Hunter's RBI-single made the final 5-0.

(Game 2) Twenty different Rangers saw action in the nightcap and Northwest blanked Delta 8-0 in six innings while out-hitting them 12-3. Northwest also benefited from four Lady Trojan errors. 

Northwest scored runs in each of the first four innings for a 7-0 lead, highlighted by Stegall's two-run single in the second.

Griffith's infield single off the leg of Lady Trojan pitcher Sara Gunter with the bases loaded provided the walk-off win.

Dunagan scattered one hit, one walk and eight strikeouts over four innings and moved into fifth all-time on the Northwest career strikeout list. Rico scattered two hits and no runs over two innings to close things out.

Brittany Rochelle, Alyssa Dean and Stegall combined to go 6-for-6 with three runs scored in the victory. 

Weather permitting, Northwest will close out the regular season on Monday, April 20 at Northeast. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. in Booneville and fans can watch the games live at www.NEMCCTV.com.
