Cooter, Holcomb win Tri-County tourney titles

Friday, April 25, 2008
GIDEON, Mo. -- The Holcomb Lady Hornets rallied from an eight-run deficit and pounded out 21 hits to take a wild 20-13 victory over the Campbell Lady Camels in the title game of the Tri-County Conference softball tournament here Thursday.

Holcomb (10-1) trailed 9-1 entering the fifth inning, but scored nine times to take the lead. The Lady Camels tied the game in the bottom of the fifth, but Holcomb scored six runs to move ahead to stay.

"I'm just really proud of these girls," Holcomb coach Seth McBroom said. "They've been physically tough and mentally tough this year."

Tiffany Weaver pounded out five hits to lead the Lady Hornets, while Laura Watson and Jenna McKuin each had three hits and the trio of Meagan Clark, Megan Crawford and Tiffany Davis each had two hits.

Chelsea Bledsoe had three hits to lead Campbell, while Courtanie Vaughan, Paige Telker and Shana Bader each had a pair of hits.

At Kennett, the Lady Indians (6-0) got another shutout from Laurel Scales as they won on Senior Day.

Scales struck out 10 and walked none in tossing the five-hitter, but shared the spotlight with Taylor Wake.

Wake was 2-for-4 with five stolen bases to spark the Kennett offense, which finished with six hits one day after being no-hit at New Madrid.

"We hit the ball a little better today," Kennett coach Laurie Vaughan said. "Still need to work on being more aggressive at the plate. We are letting good pitches go by way to often. Our biggest asset right now is our ability to be aggressive on the basepaths. This is putting us into position to score runs.

"When we struggle with getting the good base hits, just putting the ball in play allows for the other team to make mistakes in which we can take advantage of. Our team has been effective seeing those opportunities."

Wake, Allyson Luce and Ashlee Gore had RBIs for the Lady Tribe, while Ciara Dewrock, Gore, Jordan Malady and Ashley Downs -- the team's lone senior -- added base hits.
