Home Run Derby Details

Wakeland edges McKinney in Opener

March 10, 2010

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	Final	H	E
Wakeland	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	1	4	0
McKinney	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	4	2

McKinney opened up district at home Tuesday against the #1 ranked 4A team in the state, Frisco Wakeland. McKinney had its chances early to put runs on the board including the first inning but to no avail. Lauren McQuestion, running for Jenny Gilbert, was thrown out at home after a short pop fly single by Haley Pruitt. In the third inning McKinney had runners at first and third but again was unable to push the runners across the plate. That however was as close as McKinney got the rest of the night. Wakeland earned its run in the fifth inning when Jaime Ohm reached on a short soft slap to first base and was pushed to second on a bunt. Ohm came home from second after Brook Cline hit a little dinker shot between first base and right field.

Day 2 - Game 3 - Conroe

February 27, 2010

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	Final	H	E
McKinney	2	1	2	1	0	X	X	6	8	0
Conroe	0	0	0	0	1	X	X	1	3	3

In the third game of the day McKinney faced Conroe in the consolation championship game. McKinney played aggressively from the first pitch, determined to come home on a positive note. The Lionettes scored in five of the six innings played and was flawless defensively behind the pitching of Meredith Baker. In the end MHS went 4-2 in the tournament, beat two state ranked teams, and ended up 5^th overall out of 28 teams.

Day 2 - Game 2 - Elgin

February 27, 2010

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	Final	H	E
McKinney	0	0	0	0	0	2	X	2	5	1
Elgin	0	1	0	0	0	0	X	1	2	0

In the second game McKinney (4-3) needed a win against 4A Elgin (#7 team in the state) to stay alive for one more game and a chance to play for the consolation championship of the tournament. McKinney struggled most of the game against the Elgin pitcher and looked as if they were coming home earlier than had been expected. MHS came close in the fourth inning having had a runner in scoring position but was unable to get her across the plate. But in the sixth with Thomas on second and two outs Jenny Gilbert hit a home run over right center which was enough as Gilbert shut Elgin down in the top of the seventh to secure the victory and one more game..
