Lady Tigers Split with TCP

PRESCOTT – The WP girls' softball team took a lead into the seventh inning of game 1 of their double-header against Tri-Cities Prep here on April 30, but were unable to hold on. The Jaguars scored four times in the top of the seventh to take the win, 11-9.

The game was highlighted by a three-run double by Paige Wood in the fourth inning, that built the Tiger lead to 9-5. Wood had three hits in the game.

The big play of game two was a triple play by third baseman Hannah Grant. With the bases loaded, Grant caught a line drive, tagged third base, and made the throw to first in time to get the runner who had taken off on contact.  Grant also had five hits for the night, including a triple in the second game and a two run home run in the first inning of game 1.

In Game 2, Grant, Jaidyn Brown and Analise Salazar each had three hits.

"Our offense was much improved against Tri-Cities Prep," said WP Coach Angie Potts. "We spent some additional time in practice focusing on our hitting and it paid off. The girls were confident at the plate and made solid contact all day."
