Game 2: Colby 12, TMP 7

COLBY, Kan – TMP-Marian let a late lead slip away in the opening game of a doubleheader in Colby. The Lady Monarchs had a 1-0 with nobody on and two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Colby was able to get a run across following a hit by pitch, passed ball and an RBI single. Alison Helget was the hard luck loser dropping her season record to 2-2.

Bailey Lacy took the circle in game two and the Colby bats came alive. TMP-Marian took an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Colby would answer with two runs in the bottom of the inning and one in the bottom of the second to tie the game at two. The Lady Monarchs countered with three runs in the top of the fourth inning to re-take the lead at 6-3. That’s when the Lady Eagles took over outscoring TMP 9-1 the rest of the game, winning 12-7.

TMP is now four and four on the season and will be in Ellis on Tuesday afternoon for a doubleheader with the Lady Railers.
