Marcus drops East in 13 innings

FRISCO -- It took the Flower Mound Marcus 13 innings to beat Plano East Wednesday in the opening game of a best-of-3 Region I Finals series, but good fortune finally came the Lady Marauders way in the form of a hitting streak that set them up for a 5-1 victory.

“We knew it was going to be a battle,” said Christy Tumilty, Marcus head coach. “Plano East is a great team and we knew that it was going to be a matter of staying in it mentally as well as physically. As the game went on and on, the kids stepped up and made plays n on both sides for us.”

The Marcus scoring blitz began with a single from speedster KelVon Greer, who scored the winning run when Devon Wallace racked up a double in the next at-bat. After an interrupting out, Sarah Draheim notched another double for the Lady Marauders, scoring one, to set up Danielle Blocker’s base-clearing homer, which more than dispatched East and set the final score.

McKinney: All-District 9-4A team loaded with city softball players

Published: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 1:48 AM CDT
A consolation prize for getting knocked out of the postseason in the first round, it isn’t.


But combining to land 20 players on the all-district awards list is a feat the McKinney and McKinney North softball teams can certainly take pride in.

Despite finishing in fourth place in 9-4A, North was recognized more than any other school, garnering 11 total recognitions after a season that saw the Lady Bulldogs go 23-10 overall and 10-4 in league play.

A season after claiming the district’s top overall award, North senior shortstop Kathy Shelton earned another superlative by picking up Defensive Player of the Year. It is the second time in three seasons for the Baylor signee to collect the accolade.
