Softball Makes it Two Straight

September 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The Lady Tigers softball team picked up a big COC road win Thursday, with a 4-1 victory at Ozark. It was the 2nd straight win for Republic, who trounced Hillcrest 21-0 earlier in the week.

Coach Mike Thorne called junior Stephanie Eckhoff’s performance the best game she’s ever pitched. She allowed just four hits in seven innings against an Ozark team that had been undefeated.

Freshman second baseman Taylor Gold had the biggest hit of the game with Republic trailing 1-0 in the fourth inning, when she slugged a bases-loaded triple. Rachael Michaelis followed Gold’s triple with an RBI double of her own to give the Lady Tigers a 4-1 lead, and that was enough for Eckhoff.

The win improves Republic’s record to 4-1, 1-0 in the COC.

Six Straight!

October 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

District_ChampsThe Republic Lady Tigers are district softball champs for the sixth time in a row. They beat Reeds Spring 7-3 to capture the title at Bolivar Monday.

Hailey Johnson struck out 11 and reached base four times to lead Republic. She doubled to lead off the first, and that led to an unearned run that scored when Rachael Michaelis reached on an error later in the inning. Johnson also doubled in the second, setting up RBI hits by Amanda Davis and Payton Appleberry. The Lady Tigers led 4-0 after two innings.

Both offenses were quiet until the bottom of the sixth, when Republic scored three more insurance runs. A walk to Johnson, a groundout by Davis, and another hit by Appleberry put runners on first and third. Michaelis and Logan Keck followed with RBI hits, to make the score 7-0.

The game got interesting in the top of the 7th, thanks to some shaky defense by the Lady Tigers. Three singles and two infield errors made the score 7-3, and Reeds Spring had runners on first and third before Johnson struck out cleanup hitter Shailyn Brown to end the game.

Johnson and Appleberry each had two hits for Republic. They’ll play in the sectionals–the round of 16–Wednesday evening at Bolivar.
