WOLFFORTH — With outfield dimensions of only 198, 198 and 198 feet, along with a stiff wind blowing out to left field, it seemed only a matter of time before softballs began leaving the park in Game 1 of the Region I-2A DII championship series between Sundown and Haskell on Thursday.
Unfortunately for Haskell, it was Sundown which played longball throughout the afternoon in a five-inning 13-3 mercy rule win for the Roughettes.
Brynly Gregory was 3-for-4 with two doubles and a walk-off solo homer to activate the mercy rule and give Sundown a 1-0 lead in the series. Game 2 will take place on Friday at Wylie beginning at 3 p.m.
