The Gordo softball team is starting to hit its stride as the Lady Wave knocked off Class 6A Northridge on Senior Night last Tuesday. Following Senior Night, Gordo has won three of their last four outings, with the only setback coming in a 5-4 loss to Winfield.
The three Lady Waves seniors recognized on Tuesday night were Brianna Lang, Kayla Guin, and Zykeria Jones.
The Lady Waves jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning when Chloe Harville singled on a bunt, sending Taylor Clegg home for a 1-0 lead. Kaylee Quimby then reached first base on an error, scoring Harville for a 2-0 advantage. Gordo’s Brianna Lang hit a ground ball and reached first base on an error by Northridge’s Lindy Chesire, sending Quimby home for a 3-0 lead after one inning.
The Lady Jaguars would get on the board in the top of the second inning when Larsen Jackson hit a pop fly to Zykeria Jones and Lauren Sewell scored on a passed ball, cutting the Gordo lead to 3-1.
The Lady Waves would score two more runs in the bottom of the third inning when Lilly Sutton doubled on a fly ball to right field, sending Quimby home for a 4-1 lead. Ansley Wells then singled on a ground ball sending Sutton home for a 5-1 advantage.
