The Morris Lady Eagles soared past the Holdenville Lady Wolverines with an impressive 11-1 victory Tuesday evening. Behind the electric arm of Brooke Thomas and timely hitting from the Fixico sisters, Morris delivered a well-rounded performance that emphasized both pitching and aggressive base running.
— Thomas mows down 10 in 11-1 win Brooke Thomas was untouchable in the circle, fanning 10 Holdenville batters over six innings and not allowing a single walk. Her command was pinpoint, mixing speeds and locations to keep the Lady Wolverines off balance.
Holdenville managed only three hits, and their lone run came unearned. A Maylen, Darcy Shepherd, and K’mari Early each singled, with Addison Brown driving in the team’s only run.
On offense, Morris wasted no time capitalizing on opportunities. In the first inning, a defensive error allowed a run to score, and Kailyn Fixico followed with a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt to bring home another.
In the second, Alayna Fixico doubled to the left-field line, plating a run, and Tenli Barnett grounded out to score another, making it 4-0. The Lady Eagles then piled on seven more runs before the game ended in the sixth.
Katelyn Sparkman, Alayna Fixico, and Brooke Thomas each had two hits in the game. The team showcased its depth with RBIs from six different players, including Sparkman, Marris, Thomas, and both Fixico sisters.
Morris was also active on the basepaths, stealing five bases, with Alayna leading the way with two. Defensively, the Eagles were solid, committing no errors and turning one double play.
