IOLA RALLIED IN 7TH TO GIVE LADY PANTHERS A DISTRICT LOSS

The Burton Lady Panther Softball Team lost a heartbreaker at home last (Tuesday) night 6-3 to the Iola Lady Bulldogs.

Burton got on the board when Iola had trouble finding the strike zone in the bottom of the first inning. Kalli Pohl, Amaya Williams, and Bailey Glaesmann drew three straight walks to load the bases. Aerynn Huntsman drew the fourth walk of the inning to score Pohl with the first run of the game, and Burton led 1-0.

In the bottom of the second inning, Kelsi Hohlt drew a walk, and then stole second. Two batters later, Pohl singled home Hohlt with a run to make it 2-0 Lady Panthers.

Iola tied it at 2-2 with a pair of runs in the top of the 6th.

Burton went back in front 3-2 in the bottom of the 6th. Melanie Wood walked, and then came around to score on an RBI single by Reagan Roemer.

In the top of the 7th inning, Iola took advantage of three Lady Panther errors to score four times and take a 6-3 lead.

Burton managed to get a couple of runners on in the bottom of the 7th, but were unable to bring them home.

Bailey Glaesmann took the loss in the circle despite going the distance and getting 11 strikeouts.

The Lady Panthers are now 8-8 overall and 4-2 in district.

Next up, Burton will have a non-district game on Friday as they travel to Moulton for a non-district game at 6pm.
