The Guthrie Lady Bluejays went 3-0 in some critical district softball games last week. The week started with El Reno coming to town on August 23. The Lady Bluejays scored three runs in the second and third innings and made the runs hold up for a 6-2 win.
Kinley Duehning went the distance in the circle to record the win. McKenna Tucker led the way with three of Guthrie’s 11 hits in the game. Ashlee Eichler and Sage Driscoll chipped in with two apiece.
The Lady Bluejays then took a road trip to Guymon and Shattuck on August 25 and 26. The non-district game in Shattuck could only muster one run on four hits in a 9-1 loss in five innings.
The girls bounced back on Friday in Guymon and swept a district doubleheader 12-2 and 4-1 to improve to 7-1 in district play. In the 12-2 win, Guthrie had 17 hits led by Haley Gallo who had a home run among her four hits. Gallo drove in three runs and scored four times. Tucker also had a home run and three hits in the first game, drove in three runs and scored twice. Abbie and Ashlee Eichler each had two hits in the game.
