Lady Mustangs get back on winning track

April 5, 2010

FRIENDSWOOD — Friendswood head coach Kevin Parr was a much happier camper after he saw his girls get back on the winning track with two District 24-4A victories last week.

The Lady Mustangs pounded La Marque 11-1 and then beat Texas City 7-2 to move into third place in the district standings while keeping their playoff hopes alive. First place Angleton and second place Santa Fe will be coming to Friendswood this week in two very important games for the Lady 'Stangs.

Against La Marque, the Lady Mustangs pounded out 12 hits for 11 runs as Amber Milles had two hits and scored one run, Carrie Flores added two hits with two runs scored and two RBIs. Lauren Massar had one hit, scored a run, and knocked in two runs. Lindsey Davis had one hit and scored twice.  Rylie Kohls had a hit, scored a run, and had one RBI. Kelsey Eubanks had two hits including a triple and two RBIs. Kelsi Acosta had one hit and scored twice.

Kelly Smith picked up the win in the pitching circle after allowing only two hits, one earned run while fanning 14.

Friendswood 7 - Texas City 2

The second round of district began with Friendswood getting a 7-2 win over Texas City. Both teams shared third place entering the league contest so a win was very important for both teams.

Texas City got on the scoreboard first with a run in the bottom of the fourth inning. But Friendswood came back in the top of the fifth as Carrie Flores smashed a two-run double scoring Missy Jesionowski and Amber Mills who had reached base on back-to-back singles for a 2-1 lead.

The Lady Stingarees tied up the game in their half of the fifth.

After neither team scored in the sixth, Friendswood (16-9-1) stepped up to the plate in the top of the seventh inning and greeted a relief pitcher with five runs.

With two outs and runners on first and third, Lauren Massar banged a two-run double down the third base line. Lindsey Davis followed with an infield single. A throwing error allowed Massar and Davis to both score on a wild play. Rylie Kohls smacked a triple to right field and scored on a pass ball giving Friendswood a 7-2 lead.

Kelly Smith close out the Lady Stingarees in the bottom of the seventh to improve her pitching record to 14-5-1 and 5-3 in district.

Friendswood will host Santa Fe on Friday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m.
