BURTON BEATS MUMFORD ON GLAESMANN’S GEM

The Burton Lady Panther Softball Team got District 26-2A play off to a good start with a 3-0 win over Mumford last (Tuesday) night.

It was a big night for Bailey Glaesmann as the sophomore pitcher threw a complete game, two-hit shutout. She walked three and struck out 15 batters along the way.

The Lady Panthers put their first run on the board in the bottom of the third inning. Reagan Roemer led it off by reaching on an infield hit. Paige Fritsch sacrifice bunted her to second base. Amaya Williams then hit a double that scored Roemer to make it 1-0 Burton.

It would stay that way until the bottom of the 6th inning, when the Lady Panthers would get a pair of insurance runs. Williams and Glaesmann both walked to start the inning. Aerynn Huntsmann then hit a double to right field that scored the two base runners, and give Burton a 3-0 lead.

Glaesmann then retired the side in the top of the 7th including striking out the last two batters that she faced to secure the win.
