The Lady Bulldogs started last week on a good note but a high-powered weekend tournament in Las Vegas left them with four losses against just one win.
The most important game of the week was the east region home match up with Blue Ridge on Monday won by the Bulldogs, 12-6.
That win moved Winslow’s regular season record to 5-2 and left them ranked fourth in the rankings at the onset of this week.
Winslow jumped out early scoring four runs in the bottom of the first. Blue Ridge scored once in the second, to which Winslow had the answer with another run. The Bulldogs added two in the third and really took command of the game in the fourth with four more runs to lead 11-1. Blue Ridge extended the game with three in the fifth but Winslow still picked up the 12-6 win.
Justine Butterfield went 1 for 4, but that one was a home run; Harleigh Scott was 2 for 4, with a triple; Adrianna Yazzie went 2 for 3, with a double; Jordyn Johnson was 2 for 5, with a double; Morgan Thomas went 2 for 4; Alyssa Barton, 2 for 4; Chloe Wilcox, 2 for 4; and Brooke Williams, 1 for 2.
Butterfield earned the win in the circle with seven innings of work. She gave up six runs, with only 1 earned on four hits with 11 strikeouts and walked five.
Playing in the Las Vegas Jamboree beginning on Thursday, the Lady Bulldogs fell to Desert Oasis from Las Vegas 12-7, later in the day they dropped a 6-4 outcome against El Centro, Calif. Winslow’s only game on Friday was a 9-4 loss to South High School from Torrence, Calif.
On Saturday, Winslow picked up their lone win at the tournament with an 11-2 win over Chavez from San Fernando, Calif. They finished the tournament with a 10-5 loss to Beaverton, Ore.
After hosting second ranked Holbrook on Tuesday the No. 4 Bulldogs will play at Show Low on Friday. Next Tuesday they will host Snowflake.
