CLAREMORE – Sand Springs went undefeated in the Rogers State Festival, beating Wyandotte and Purcell without giving up a single run. The Charles Page High School fast-pitch softball team beat Wyandotte, 6-0, and Purcell, 8-0, Friday, Aug. 18 at the Rogers State University softball field. Sand Springs 8, Purcell 0: Jacie Taber needed only five innings to dispose of the Purcell Lady Dragons in the second game at Rogers State. The junior pitcher ended with eight strike outs and gave up only two hits in the eight-run win. Since losing to Claremore in the second game of the season, Taber said the team is starting to gel. “I feel like we’ve been bonding as a team a whole lot more and hanging out more, and the closer we are getting as friends the more it has helped us work together and play for each other on the field,” Taber said. The Claremore loss is their only loss, and they have won three-straight games since. The Lady Sandites (4-1) had a big fifth inning, scoring five runs to give them an 8-0 lead and end the game. They racked up 10 hits and didn’t commit a single error on defense. Felicity Horn, Madelyn Blair and Kimi Presnell each hit doubles in the win. Sand Springs 6, Wyandotte 0: Junior pitcher Madelyn Blair gave up three hits in a shutout win over the Wyandotte Lady Bears in the first game at Rogers State. Blair struck out five batters and walked two in six innings, but Wyandotte never really threatened to score. We played well together as a team, had very few errors and executed nicely at the plate,” Blair said after the game. After taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, Sand Springs scored five runs in the final two innings. In the bottom of the fourth, Cameron Clemons recorded an RBI on an error from the short stop, scoring Rachel Jones from third base. Madison Lee was hit by a pitch, and Liz Luttrell scored Kimi Presnell for the 3-0 Lady Sandite lead. However, they left three runners stranded on base to end the inning. In the bottom of the fifth, Jensen Arnold scored Taber on a sacrifice fly, and Presnell scored on an RBI single from Clemons. Presnell then hit a stand-up double to the wall in left center, putting her in scoring position. Lee then hit an RBI single to score Clemons for the 6-0 lead. Luttrell and Clemons were the only two Lady Sandites to record more than one hit in the game, and the team ended with five RBIs total.
