On senior night, the softball team’s two seniors came through. Hailey Johnson and Amanda Davis each had big nights in a 10-0 victory over Glendale, before being honored by their teammates and coaches. The two seniors contributed three RBIs apiece, and Johnson pitched a shutout in their last game at Miller Park.
Payton Appleberry added a home run (watch the video) to break a personal 0-for-8 dry spell, and the Republic offense busted out of a collective slump heading into postseason play later this week.
After the game, the two seniors were honored for their contributions to the softball program, including their role in Republic’s first trip to the state semifinals last year. The Lady Tigers improve to 12-6 this season.
Check out the photo set from tonight, and listen to interviews with Coach Mike Thorne and seniors Hailey Johnson and Amanda Davis in the audio player at the bottom of this post.

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.
