SOFTBALL ROUNDUP: Reaves' HR gives Jacksboro new life in extra innings win vs. Henrietta
JACKSBORO – It was the type of situation batters play out in their mind all the time.
With two outs and a runner on third, Jacksboro’s Brooke Reaves stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning, trailing Henrietta 6-4 and hoping to prolong the District 7-3A matchup.
Reaves didn’t realize exactly how much longer she would extend the game.
Reaves swung at a 1-0 pitch and launched it over the fence in center field, pulling the Tigerettes even. The game would go to extra innings – three to be exact – where Jacksboro prevailed for a 7-6 victory over the Lady Cats.
The walk-off run scored by Jacksboro was anticlimactic compared to Reaves’ shot to tie the game with Lilly Perez drawing a bases-loaded walk to end it.
The win keeps Jacksboro (20-3, 5-0) undefeated and alone atop the 7-3A standings. Henrietta falls to 12-10-1 overall and 2-2 in district.
Henrietta outhit Jacksboro in the contest, 11-7, but the Lady Tigerettes also drew 10 walks.
Reaves finished 2 for 2 with two runs, three RBIs and the seminal home run.
Henrietta had just mounted a rally of its own before Reaves’ homer, scoring four runs in the top of the seventh for a 6-4 advantage. Kaitlyn Bryant led Henrietta at the plate, going 3 for 5 with a double, run and RBI. Kylee Sewartd was 2 for 5 with two doubles, a run and two RBIs.
