In a tie game, Cairo led off the bottom of the seventh with a single by Mallori Hankins and bunt single by Chloe Brumley. After Olivia Cross was intentionally walked, Kylee Dodge brought home the district title.
Dodge’s walkoff hit for the 5-4 win over Glasgow earned her the Freeman Financial and Insurance Outstanding Player of the Game.
Glasgow was first on the board.
Demint then scored from third on a throw to second as Leah Noll stole it to give Glasgow a 3-0 edge. Cairo scored two runs on an error in the bottom of the third. In the fifth, an RBI single by Avery Brumley tied it and an RBI double by Chloe Brumley gave the Lady Cats their first lead. Glasgow responded with an RBI single by Noll in the top of the sixth to tie the game again.
Both Brumleys had two-hit nights for Cairo. Chloe also drew two walks. Dodge and Kailey Kearns had two hits as well. In the circle, Cross struck out 13 Lady Jackets. The 24-4 Lady Cats will play at Paris in the state quarterfinals Saturday. Glasgow’s season ends at 16-8.
