Softball: Slaton vs Roosevelt Results
by Brandon Langston
Our varsity is now 6-10 on the season and 3-2 in district. We are sitting tied for 3rd as of now.
Softball Stats vs Roosevelt 4/5
Slaton 12 – Roosevelt 10
Slaton: 2 runs in the 3rd, 5 runs in the 4th, and 5 runs in the 5th.
Roosevelt: Scored in every inning 2,1,2,1,2,1,1
Clarissa – 2B in 5th to score 2
Leslie – 3 Runs scored
Jada – 3-5 with 3 RBI’s and 1 run scored Michael – 2-3 2 runs and 1 RBI Mireya – 2B in 3rd and had 3 RBIs Alyssa – 2-3 2 runs scored Malory – 2 Runs scored. 7 innings pitched, 6 K, 2 BB, 4 earned runs
Our girls have been playing hard and were able to battle back after some early errors on routine plays. Every girl in the lineup had either a run scored or an RBI which is huge when you can get that kind of production from everyone in the lineup. Defensively it was not a great game for us but when we needed to make a play someone always stepped up to make it in the crucial situations to keep their runs to a minimum each inning.

We all thought it may have been a terrible April Fools joke from the Track Gods when we saw snow accumulating on the ground on our drive up but there was no relief from the cold weather. Luckily Muleshoe didn’t receive the snow. It was rain only on the Muleshoe track. Our girls competed well in 30 degree weather.
