LADY PANTHERS ADVANCE TO AREA PLAYOFFS
The Burton Lady Panthers broke open a scoreless tie with six runs in the bottom of the third inning and never looked back on their way to a 9-4 win over Hull-Daisetta in their playoff opener Thursday night.
Burton (13-11) banged out eight hits in the inning as 12 batters stepped to the plate.
The Lady Panthers added two runs in the fifth and another in the sixth.
Hull-Daisetta cut the lead to 8-4 with three runs in the sixth, but that was as close as they would get.
Allie Rosenbaum went the distance to pick up the win, scattering eight hits over seven innings, while striking out 10 and walking just one.
Five Lady Panthers had three hits apiece: Emma Broesche, Allie Rosenbaum, Maci Hohlt, Paula Jenkins and Amy Teufel. Mackenzie Wilke added two hits.
Hohlt and Teufel each scored twice, while Broesche drove in two runs.
Burton advances to the Area Playoffs to face Shiner in a best two-of-three next week in Smithville. Game-one is Thursday night at 7:00 and a possible double header Friday, beginning at 6:00.
