Lady Spartans ride huge second inning to Regional Quarterfinal victory

SAGINAW – The Centennial Lady Spartans scored six runs in the second inning and never looked back as they beat the Colleyville-Heritage Lady Panthers 9-1 in the Regional Quarterfinal Thursday at Saginaw High School.

Senior starting-pitcher Lindemuth pitched a complete game (her fourth of the playoffs) — surrendering one earned run off three hits and two walks and striking out six batters — and went 1-for-2 with two walks at the plate in the win.

After taking a 3-1 lead in the top of the first, the Lady Spartans ran away with it in the second inning, scoring six runs — three on junior catcher Madelyn Hickey’s bases-clearing triple — to increase their lead to 9-1.

Hickey went 2-for-3 with a walk and the three-run triple.

CLEBURNE – Brian O’Grady homered in each game as the Cleburne Railroaders won their first two games of 2024 against the Winnipeg Goldeyes last week at La Moderna Field.

The Railroaders beat Winnipeg 5-3 on Opening Day Thursday in the first of a six-game series in Cleburne, holding the lead after the designated-hitter O’Grady’s two-run home run in the second inning.

After going 2-for-4 with the two-run homer in his first game as a Railroader on Opening Day after playing for the 2023 American Association Champion Kansas City Monarchs last season, O’Grady homered again in a 6-4 game-two victory Friday. Going 1-for-3 on the day, O’Grady’s home run was the second of back-to-back blasts from him and center-fielder Hill Alexander in the second inning.
