The Moran Lady Mustang Softball Team came out on Friday to avenge an earlier loss to a feisty Strong Middle School team in Durham. The Ladies used singles by Nicole Dorsey, Te’a Martin, Mia Ferry, Sammi Fers and Caitlyn Hunt to open up a 3 run lead before Strong had a chance to bat.

It was the defense that shined. Aleiya Noone grabbed a single to deep center hit Mia Ferry on the cutoff and Sammi Fers applied the tag at home. Fers threw out one runner trying to steal and picked off another runner at third along with Nicole Dorsey got a speedy runner in a pickle and again applied a tag. A line drive to Te’a Martin playing the short stop position, doubled off a runner at first thanks to a great throw and a long stretch by Caitlyn Hunt..

Colleen Kelley came in for defensive purposes and had a put out in left, while Jess Davies singled along with Summer van Dyke and each had an RBI. Again the Lady Mustangs hammered out 15 singles and Ferry again had 6 K’s and scattered 7 hits.

The record is now 5 and 4 with 2 games left.
