Lady Tigers Come Back to Beat Nixa

September 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Logan Keck singled home the game-winning runs in the bottom of the 7th inning, as the Republic Lady Tigers came from behind to beat Nixa, 8-7. It was the sixth straight win for Republic.

Republic led 5-4 after six innings, but Nixa appeared to take control with a three-run rally in the top of the 7th, to give them a 7-5 lead.

In the bottom of the 7th, Stephanie Eckhoff hit an infield single to lead off, and Rachael Michaelis reached on an error. After Amanda Snider popped out to second, Brooke Dutton reached on an infield single and Eckhoff scored. That set up Keck’s game-winning hit to right-center field.

Eckhoff pitched a complete game, striking out four, for the win. Payton Apleberry was 3-for-3 for the Lady Tigers.

The Lady Tigers improve to 8-1. They’re 2-0 in the COC.

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.
