SMITHVILLE — The Smithville High School varsity softball team picked up another 4A-District 22 victory at home April 1 as the Lady Tigers run-ruled Giddings High School 12-2.
Behind a seven-run outburst in the bottom of the third inning, the Lady Tigers coasted against the Lady Buffaloes in a must-win game.
Smithville had a balanced offensive attack as Raini Stanley, Jessi Davis and Kayden Wilde each drove in two runs on the night. Addison Otto, Claire Kennon, Brityn Roberts, Emery Bayer and Kenna Tiner also had one RBI apiece in the rout of the Lady Buffaloes.
Otto put together a strong performance in the circle for Smithville as she had seven strikeouts in five innings, issued just three walks, allowed only two hits and both runs she allowed to Giddings in the top of the fifth inning were unearned runs.
Following a 5-1 loss at home Saturday to La Grange High School, the Lady Tigers (139-3 overall, 4-3 district record) are still the No. 3 seed in the district playoff standings. Smithville, under Head Coach Wayne Otto, was on the road Tuesday at Caldwell High School and will return home Friday, April 12 at 7 p.m. hosting Manor New Tech High School.
