GAME STORY: Eastland maintains slight hold on high seed with 16-3 win over Tolar

EASTLAND — A combination of speed and power was on full display on Tuesday, as the Eastland Lady Mavericks handed visiting Tolar a 16-3 mercy rule loss at the Linda Morren Diamond Park Softball Field. 

Eastland pounded out 13 total hits, including six doubles and two triples to put the game way. Much of that power was concentrated in an explosive 11-run third inning that turned a 5-2 EHS lead into a 16-2 runaway.

Jayci Majors was 2-for-3 with two triples and three RBIs and Adyson Carroll was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs to lead the Lady Mavs (15-8, 8-3) which maintained a half-game lead over Comanche for the No. 2 playoff seed with the win. 

Tolar (13-11, 6-5) was led by Jorgia Reed, who was 2 for 2 with a double and Kaira Krause, who was 2 for 2 with an RBI.
