Lady Hornets still on hot streak

The Frazee Lady Hornets hosted a five-team tournament Saturday and were the only team to escape without a loss on the day. Due to Staples-Motley dropping out the day before the tournament, a new format had to be built where some teams had three games and some had two. Frazee had two games and was victorious in both, as the team defeated Menahga by the score of 8-4 and defeated Perham by the score of 10-6. In the Menahga game, the Lady Braves jumped off to an early 3-0 lead as they scored one run in the first inning and two in the second. The Lady Hornets got on the scoreboard in their half of the second as three straight hits by Kaysee Gerving, Josi Tappe and Katie Smith led to two Frazee runs to make the score 3-2 after two innings. In the third inning the Hornets got hits from Kennady Barlund and Jo Shipman who both scored on some aggressive base running. In the fourth inning the Lady Hornets gained two more runs as Autumn Mahoney and Barlund both scored on a Shipman base hit. The final scoring for the Lady Hornets came in the bottom of the sixth as Jaden Ketter and Taylor Tappe each had hits and were driven in on a base hit by Barlund.
For the game, Menahga scored their four runs on six hits, three walks and two hit batters and two Frazee errors.
