In a nine-inning matchup against North Texas last week, Tulsa freshman pitcher and former Hackett standout @makenzie_f2 fanned eight batters while only allowing six hits, two walks and one earned run against 23 total batters in five complete frames, a game that was started in the circle by fellow Arkansan @mauramooree (Valley Springs), who is in her graduate season with the Golden Hurricane.

The Cavewomen of Cave City continued their hot start to the 2026 campaign with a 4-0 shutout of conference foe Salem yesterday, rolling to 8-1 and 4-0 in league play. Sophomores Baylee McSpadden and Kennedy Qualls each accumulated two hits apiece with Qualls adding in a double, while freshmen pitcher Tenley Engleman was credited with the win, allowing only two hits and three walks while fanning six batters in seven complete innings of work. Lady Greyhound and junior Jailyn Strong took the loss (6.0 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 SO). Salem (2-1, 1-1) is back in action today at Mountain View (1-2, 0-1) and CC is playing host to Bergman (0-3, 0-3) as well.

2025 3A state runner-up Harding Academy (5-1) put up 8 runs in the second inning against 6A Cabot (5-3) and never looked back in yesterday’s 11-6 road win as @AvaAceEllis2026 and @CoriHastings28 combined to go 8-10 (4-5 each) from the dish with four runs scored and six runs batted in. Hastings racked up seven total bases with a double and a triple while Ellis got the win in the circle, striking out four, walking five and allowing only three earned runs against 34 total batters as she tossed 65 strikes on 100 pitches.
