UNDEFEATED
AUSTIN — Jordan Cox, Haiden Anderson and Jai-Lynn Flores each hit a home run as the Dripping Springs softball team (23-4, 8-0) defeated the Anderson Trojans 17-0 in a shortened 5 inning game due to the run-rule last Friday at Noack Field in Austin. Dripping Springs remains undefeated in 6A District 26 as they begin the second round of district play versus Austin High on March 31 at Butler Field.
Haiden Anderson (6-0, 1.26 ERA), who pitched the complete game and struck out five batters, led the offense going 4 for 4 at the plate with 3 doubles and the homer to drive in 5 runs. Cox (12-2, 1.86 ERA) was 3 for 3 with 3 RBI.
“We’ve been solid defensively and getting great pitching from both of these pitchers,” head coach Wade Womack said.
Taylor Anderson had a triple and was 2 for 2 in stolen bases, as was Erika Kanetzky and Linan Scott had a stolen base. The Lady Tigers' 17 runs came on 21 hits and only 1 walk.
