Cardinal softball rallies for sweep
HALSTEAD — Hoisington pitcher Brynn Tarlton escaped a late-game jam thanks to an obstruction call as the Cardinals shocked Halstead 10-8 and 10-9 in Friday's Central Kansas League softball twin bill. Hoisington (14-6, 10-4 CKL) moves past Halstead (12-8, 9-7 CKL) into third place. CARDINALS 10, HALSTEAD 8, 8 innings (G1) — Halstead was tied 7-7 when Thea Boese called out for interference at home by Hayla Cooper against catcher Reese Vaughn. Boese attempted to run home on a passed ball for the game-winning run with one out. Halstead's first five hitters reached base in a 3-run seventh inning. "The runner was called out due to the batter being in the way," said Hoisington softball coach Tim Boxberger. "We finally found a way to finish a game." Cardinal Marly Brewer scored on Kelsi Maier's groundball and Tarlton scored on an error. Reese Aylward's double scored Maier for a 10-7 lead. Maier drove home four runs. Tarlton homered twice, scored four runs and drove in three runs. Reese Vaughn drove home two runs. Halstead's Boese and Cooper drove home two runs. CARDINALS 10, HALSTEAD 9 (G2) — Hoisington rallied from a 9-3 deficit with a 7-run sixth inning that shocked the Dragons. Aylward drilled a 3-run triple to score Tarlton, Brewer and Maier for a 9-9 tie. Aylward scored on Myah Frederking's game-winning double. The Cardinals drew three walks and took advantage of an error in the 7-run inning. Reliever Aylward pitched two scoreless innings to earn the victory. Halstead's Katharine Engel drove home three runs and Boese and Addison Thompson homered. Hoisington 001 042 03 — 10 8 2 Halstead 100 102 31 — 8 8 2 Tarlton and Reese Vaughn.
