The Beggs Lady Demons showcased their offensive firepower Tuesday afternoon, cruising to a 14-4 win over the Morris Lady Eagles in a commanding slowpitch softball performance. Highlighted by consistent hitting and a second-inning surge, Beggs made quick work of their county rivals, thanks to a balanced team effort at the plate and solid defense in the field.

— Morris Starts Hot, But Beggs Responds Big Morris jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Fire Clark led off with a double to left field, setting the tone. A defensive error by Beggs allowed another run to score, and Kailyn Fixico added an RBI single down the right field line to cap off the inning.

But that lead didn’t last long. In the bottom of the second, Beggs flipped the game with a five-run explosion. The highlight came when Abby Yandell ripped an inside-thepark home run, clearing the bases for three runs and putting the Lady Demons ahead 6-3.

— Beggs Pulls Away in the Third and Fourth Beggs added two more runs in the third, taking advantage of a Morris error and an RBI single by Stella Howell to stretch the lead to 8-3. Then came a massive six-run fourth inning that put the game out of reach.

Emma Trimble got things rolling with an RBI single. Aliyah Vernon scored after tagging up on a fly ball. Destiny Chisum followed with a single to bring in two more runs, and Stella Howell capped off the inning with another two-run single.

Morris managed to bring one run home in the fourth, but Beggs’ defense held tight, and the game ended with a double-digit victory for the Lady Demons.
