Eckhoff No-Hits Glendale, Tigers Take 2

Stephanie Eckhoff pitched a no-hitter for the Republic softball team Friday, in an 11-0 win over Glendale at the Ozark Tournament last night. The Lady Tigers banged out nine hits of their own — including two apiece from Payton Appleberry, Carlie Campbell and Hailey Johnson — in earning their first victory of the tournament. Eckhoff also struck out one for the Lady Tigers.

In their second game of the night, Republic beat Ponca City 6-0. Hailey Johnson struck out eight, and went 2-for-3 at the plate. Lakin Ramsey added two hits and 3 RBIs in the victory.

The two wins set up a rematch for the Lady Tigers. They’ll meet Nixa Saturday morning. Nixa defeated Republic in the finals of the Nixa Tournament last weekend.
