BARTLETT – Neveah Irvin drove in four runs, and Autree Kelm allowed four hits over three innings of work to help lead the Thrall Tigerettes (10-11-2 overall, 4-4 District 27-2A) to a 19-2 rout of the Bartlett Lassies Tuesday night.
Thrall wasted little time exerting its dominance over the Lassies, scoring four runs in the first inning. Riley Luton accounted for the first run with a line-drive triple toe left that scored Mikayla Velesquez. Raelynn Johnson followed with a routine grounder to second, but Bartlett’s second baseman misplayed the ball, which allowed Luton and Johnson to score for a 3-0 lead. Ashlyn Jarosek scored the final run on a second Bartlett error.
Bartlett scored once in the bottom of the second, but the Tigerettes answered with eight in the second. Brie Jarosek led off for Thrall in th second with a single, and Velesquez followed with a double to put runners at second and third for Irvin. Irvin took the first pitch for an in-the-park threerun homerun to push Thrall’s lead to 7-1.
Triples by Ashlyn Jarosek and Gracie Fitzgerald accounted for the remainder of the Tigerettes’ runs in the second, as the pair drove in five runs to cap the inning. Thrall led 12-1 after two innings of play.
Thrall scored seven more runs in the top of the third, despite having just one hit, a double by Ashlyn Jarosek. Bartlett responded with one final run in the bottom half of the inning.
Ashlyn Jarosek led the Tigerettes with three hits in three trips to the plate. Velesquez and Luton added two each.
The Tigerettes were at home Friday, hosting the Rosebud-Lott Lady Cougars and they hosted the Milano Lady Eagles on Saturday. Thrall currently sits in fifth place, one game back of the Granger Lady Lions.
