Another sweep for Boyd girls

Another doubleheader resulted in another district sweep this week for the Lady Bronco softball team, as well as the third no-hitter pitched by Boyd?s Cassie Wanamaker.

Thursday afternoon the Lady Broncos traveled to Middle Tennessee Christian and downed the Lady Cougars 11-2 in the first game and blanked MTCS in the second 6-0. The Lady Broncos improved to 4-1 in District 9-A action and 6-5 on the season.

In the first game things stayed scoreless until the top of the fourth, when the Lady Broncos sent five runs across the plate. Four errors in a row by the Lady Cougars sent one run to the plate for Boyd, setting the stage for Megan Boren. With two outs Boren connected for a grand slam as Boyd took a 5-0 lead.

In the fifth Boyd scored five more runs on five errors and back-to-back hits by Wanamaker and Leah Walker. In the bottom of the inning the Cougars scored two runs off of one hit and three errors by Boyd, before the Lady Broncos got out of the inning to preserve the win. Wanamaker gave up four hits, while Boren had two hits followed by Wanamaker and Walker with one hit each.

In the second game Wanamaker worked all five innings with six strike outs to pick up the no-hit victory.

Boyd scored three runs in the bottom of the first, when Courtney Hard and Ashley Bain reached base by error. Wanamaker tripled and then scored a wild pitch.

Boyd scored one run in the second when Kris Surles reached on an error and Boren picked up the RBI with a single.

In the third two more runs crossed the plate for Boyd. Bain singled and Wanamaker hit her second triple of the game. A hit by Tosha Young scored Wanamaker as the Lady Broncos went on to take the sweep over MTCS.

Wanamaker had two hits. Bain, Young and Boren added one hit apiece.

The Lady Broncos will be back in district action on Thursday to take on Forrest at home.
