Lady Spartans win district championship on Martin’s walk-off home run

Senior Martin's walk-off home run gives Centennial district-clinching victory over second-place Midlothian on Senior Night

JOSHUA and BURLESON – The Centennial Lady Spartans varsity softball team won the District 8-5A Championship as Olivia Martin hit a walk-off home run to give Centennial a 4-3 win over the second-place Midlothian Lady Panthers Friday at Centennial.

The senior right-fielder Martin went 2-for-3 with her home run and another run scored in the Senior Night district-clinching win.

The Lady Spartans came into the game with a one-game lead over second-place Midlothian, but because Midlothian beat Centennial 11-9 March 23, the Lady Spartans had to win Friday to win district.
