The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats hosted Winnsboro Monday in a non-district game. The Lady Cats entered the day looking to pick up their 15th win of the season.
Crimson Bryant took the mound for Sulphur Springs and started her day by striking out the lead-off batter. Bryant allowed a one-out single but struck out the next two batters, getting out of the inning without allowing the runner to advance from first base.
Grace Magnuson was the first base runner of the day for the Lady Cats, drawing a two-out walk in the bottom of the first. Magnuson came in to score when Bryant reached base on an error, giving the Lady Cats an early 1-0 lead.
Bryant continued her strong day on the mound, retiring the side in both the second and third innings, striking out four of the six batters she faced. The Lady Cats got a rally going in the bottom of the third when Addison DeSmet led the frame off with a walk.
Magnuson followed with a single before Bryant drove both runs in with a single to center field, giving herself a three-run lead. Sulphur Springs got one more run in the inning when Addison Caddell hit a two-out single to bring in a run, extending their lead to 4-0.
The Lady Cats added another three runs in the bottom of the fourth, before putting the game away in the bottom of the fifth, scoring another three runs to complete the 10-run rule. Nylah Lindley scored the final run, coming in to score on a passed ball.
Bryant got the win for Sulphur Springs, her ninth of the season. In five innings of work Bryant allowed just one hit, while striking out 12. Bryant also led the way at the plate for the Lady Cats, driving in four runs in a 1-for-3 day.
Caddell had the only multi-hit game of the day, going 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored. Lindley and Magnuson each had one hit, as Lindley went 1-for-2 with one RBI and two runs scored, while Magnuson went 1-for-2 with a walk and three runs scored.
The win improves the Lady Cats’ record to 15-3 on the season and extends their current winning streak to six games. Sulphur Springs returns to action Thursday with a home game against Hallsville. The junior varsity is set to begin at 4:30 p.m. with the varsity to follow.
