By Sam Conner The Winslow Lady Bulldogs split a pair of games in the Wrangler Classic Softball Tournament, losing to Kingman 9-6 last Friday and defeating Santa Cruz 9-3 on Saturday. The results left the Lady Bulldogs with a 2-1 record after their victory over Snowflake in the season opener. On Friday, Winslow took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first only to have the Kingman Lady Bulldogs come back to tie the game in the bottom of the inning and take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second. Winslow moved back in front 3-2 in the top of the third, but Kingman regained the lead at 5-3 in the bottom of the frame. Kingman opened a seemingly commanding 9-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth, but Winslow cut it to the final 9-6 margin in the top of the fifth. Kingman wound up with nine runs on 11 hits and committed four errors. Winslow had six runs on seven hits and five errors. On Saturday against the Eloy Santa Cruz Lady Dust Devils, Winslow took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first and Santa Cruz tied the score in the bottom of the frame. The Bulldogs went ahead for good at 4-3 in the top of the third, then increased the margin to 8-3 in the top of the fourth and scored their final run in the top of the fifth. Winslow scored nine runs on 11 hits and committed two errors. Santa Cruz had three runs on just five hits and committed five errors. The Bulldogs were slated to make their first appearance at home on Tuesday against the Sunnyslope Lady Vikings and will play the Round Valley Lady Elks at Eagar today (March 9).
