On senior night, the softball team’s two seniors came through. Hailey Johnson and Amanda Davis each had big nights in a 10-0 victory over Glendale, before being honored by their teammates and coaches. The two seniors contributed three RBIs apiece, and Johnson pitched a shutout in their last game at Miller Park.
Payton Appleberry added a home run (watch the video) to break a personal 0-for-8 dry spell, and the Republic offense busted out of a collective slump heading into postseason play later this week.
After the game, the two seniors were honored for their contributions to the softball program, including their role in Republic’s first trip to the state semifinals last year. The Lady Tigers improve to 12-6 this season.
