Mabank blanks Lancaster, 17-0
By Kerry Yancey
Monitor Staff Writer
MABANK–Mabank’s Lady Panthers wound up the regular season Monday with a
17-0 blowout of the visiting Lancaster Tigers in just three innings.
The Lady Panthers finished District 14-4A play at 2-8.
The game was originally scheduled for Friday, but was delayed due to wet
grounds.
Lancaster looked all wet against the Lady Panthers, who pounded out 13
hits in the three-inning contest, and took advantage of two Lady Tiger
errors.
(With just two errors, the official scorebook was kind to the Lancaster
girls, as the Lady Tigers regularly failed to make catches at every
position, and generally looked as though they already had one foot back
on the bus.)
For their part, the Lady Tigers could do nothing against a sharp
performance by Mabank pitcher Karlyn Bellows, who racked up seven
strikeouts out of the nine Lancaster outs.
Up 4-0 in the first inning, the Lady Panthers increased their lead to
7-0 in the second, and then blew out the Lady Tigers with a 10-run
third.
Mabank second baseman Ami Johnson capped the blowout with a three-run
inside-the-park homer to push the score past the “mercy rule” limit.
Mabank Special Olympics athlete David Smith, accompanied
by Mabank Police Officer Sam Epps, completes the last segment of the
torch relay to open the annual Special Olympics meet at Mabank’s Panther
Stadium Saturday. The meet drew more than 240 special athletes on 17
teams to compete in track and field events, bicycling and equestrian
contests.
