Purcell’s slow-pitch softball team enjoyed a Spring Break free of games.
Coach Sarah Jones’ club was back in action Monday at Harrah. Tecumseh filled out the slate of games.
The Dragons defeated Harrah 19-14 pounding out 25 hits and making no fielding errors.
Ella Resendiz was 4-5 including a double and a home run. She finished with four RBIs.
Hannah Whitaker went a perfect 4-4 including a home run finishing with four RBIs and scored four times.
Mack McKay also had four hits in five trips to the plate and knocked in three runs.
KK Vazquez was 3-3 including a home run and two RBIs.
Kenna Esparza went 3-5 including a triple and had an RBI.
Haley Kretchmar was 3-3 in the contest.
“We had a great win against Harrah,” Jones said. “Our senior Kelly Anderson is out for the season and Hannah Whitaker and Mack McKay did a great job stepping in with no practice, extremely high winds and frozen temps.
“We had five home runs on the day and hit the ball extremely well,” the coach said.
“Kenna Esparza stepped in to help to give us 10 players and went 4-7.
“We are 3-3 with our losses coming to Tecumseh (#2 in 5A), Washington (#3 in 5A) and Dale (#1 in 4A),” she said.
“We are doing well and I am super proud of the girls,” Jones concluded.
Tecumseh pinned an 11-3 loss on the Dragons even though Purcell out-hit the Savages 12-11.
Vazquez and Whitaker led the scoring with three hits apiece including a home run by Vazquez.
The Dragons were to host Newcastle and NRC Tuesday and are scheduled to play in the Beast of the East event in Stonewall Thursday and Friday.
