BLOOMFIELD, Mo. - The Dexter Softball team got another ‘W’ on Monday (March 28) against the Bloomfield Wildcats. Coach Tammy Crowley’s squad blasted hit after hit off the Bloomfield pitching staff, and won the game in three innings due to the 15-run rule.

Senior standout Alec Jackson got the start for the ‘Cats in the contest, and only faced three batters in the first - the first batter grounded out, the second got a single, and the third hit into a doubleplay.


The Lady ‘Cats’ bats were hot again in the contest, racking up six hits and four runs in the first inning.


“I tried to let Jerrica Wood pitch a little at the top of the 2nd inning,” Crowley said, “but she was having an off day and wasn't throwing strikes, so I put Alec back in to finish the game.”


The Wildcats only runs in the contest came during the second inning, with King and Leindecker scoring two runs.


Dexter’s offense exploded during the bottom of the second, with everyone on the team getting at least one hit - 10 total hits in the inning - as well as adding another 10 runs to their tally.

Jackson, returning to the mound in impressive form, only gave up one base-hit, and recorded a strikeout in the top of the third.


The Lady ‘Cats had another big offensive inning in the bottom of the third, as everyone again got a hit - Dexter went through their entire lineup before they had an out - as well as adding 8 more runs to cap the 15-run rule and end the game.

With the win, the Lady ‘Cats improve to 3-0 on the season. All of the games so far have been conference games, and the Lady ‘Cats seem poised to have a great showing in this years’ conference tourney.


The ‘Cats will be on the diamond again on Friday (April 1) when they will face the Kennett Indians at home. First pitch is set for 4:00 p.m.
