Coach David Carrillo’s team would not be denied their perfect district season in their finale.
Lady Cats softball scored two runs thanks to a HR from Parris Pickett and a sac fly from Anahi Velasquez to get Sulphur Springs an early 2-0 lead in the 2nd.
Three singles and an error in the next Lady Cats at-bat pushed it to a 5-0 advantage after 4 1/2 innings. Parris Pickett picked up a second RBI when she got 3B Addison Caddell home in the 5th building the Sulphur Springs lead to 6-0.
Two singles, a double and a triple blew the game away as the Lady Cats put 10 runs on Pine Tree and blew out the Lady Pirates 10-0.

Kinz Smallwood went 3 for 3 versus Pine Tree, driving 2 runs and crossing home thrice herself. Anahi Velasquez was 3 for 4 against the Lady Pirates driving in another 2 runs and crossing home twice.
