Tandie Cummins pitches win over Follett
Clarendon High School sophomore Tandie Cummins did not throw a no-hitter against Follett; however, the shutout was hers as the Lady Broncos demolished Follett 15-0 on Friday in four and a half innings.
Cummins went the distance on the mound recording 11 strikeouts, zero errors, zero walks, while allowing only two hits. Statistically, Cummins threw 41 strikes out of 58 total pitchers against 14 batters.
Not only was their defense strong, but the Lady Broncos’ offensive attack also was impressive. The ladies managed the 11 runs on only seven hits.
Senior Baylee Gabel led the way with two hits, two runs, four RBIs and got the Lady Broncos on the board first with a triple that score two runs.
Along with Gabel, Graci Wilkins was able to make some noise of her own with two RBIs, two walks, and two runs. Hayden Elam stormed the plate with two hits and four runs, and Kenidee Cummins was responsible for three runs. Tandy Blacksher and T. Cummins also were responsible for at least one run. Bailey Bruce, Gabel, K. Cummins, Blacksher, and Wilkins ran the bases well with six stolen bases in the game. Wilkins and Elam each grabbed stolen bases to lead the way.
Earlier in the week, the Lady Broncos suffered a disappointing loss to Fritch 7-14. The Lady Eagles got their bats going in the first inning with a homerun and added two more runs in the second. A big third inning for Fritch put the Lady Broncos in a hole they struggled to get out of. They were able to recover slightly in the fifth with hits by Gabel, T. Cummins, and Wilkins, but it was not enough. K. Cummins opened the game from the mound and lasted three innings, before T. Cummins came in to finish. K. Cummins, uncharacteristically allowed eight hits, 10 runs on eight hits with two homeruns, one base-on-balls, three errors, but had three strike-outs. T. Cummins finished with four hits, four runs, one walk, two errors, and one strike-out.
Elliot Frausto had two hits in four at bats.
The ladies will host Claude in another district game at home Thursday beginning at 3:00 p.m.
