Tascosa tames Plainview
With a stacked nine-team league it’s hard to imagine, but District 3-5A is already underway for Texas Panhandle softball teams.
With that said, Tascosa jumped out on the right foot to open district play going on the road and getting a 9-1 win against Plainview on Monday night.
The Lady Rebels are now 3-4 overall on the year and now 1-0 in league action.
Tascosa got things going early plating five runs in the first two innings to take a 5-0 lead. That was more than enough support for Lady Rebel hurler Christmas Morris. Morris was dealing tossing a complete game scattering three hits while racking up 13 strikeouts.
The offense was provided by Emmi Whitehead who went 3-for-4 at the plate including a three-run homer. Reece Correa tacked on a 2-for-4 day at the dish with a pair of RBIs.
