PARSONS — Allen Community College had a tough go of it Saturday with a pair of road defeats at the hands of Labette, 13-1 and 12-3.
Labette set the tone in the first inning of the opener, bursting out to a 5-0 lead, and didn’t look back.
Allen’s lone highlight came when Bella Gravatt and Chloe Rogers opened the fifth inning with singles. An error brought Gravatt home for the Red Devils’ run.
Problem was, the Cardinals already led 13-0.
Lacey Stamper and Hailee Lundine were the only other ACC players to have a hit for the Red Devils against Labette pitcher Sarah Mays.
Madelynn Collin, meanwhile, pitched into the third inning for Allen, giving up nine hits. Rogers also pitched, allowing five hits.
As an aside, former Humboldt standout Winter Snyder went 2-for-4 for Labette while batting leadoff, with a double, two runs and two RBIs.
Allen’s no-good, very bad day continued in the nightcap, with Labette leading 4-0 after one inning and 11-1 after two.
Mikayla Long’s home run in the second gave ACC its first tally.
Alayna Brown singled before MaKayla McGinnis went deep in the top of the fifth for the other two runs.
Haley Gedrose had Allen’s other hit, a single. Snyder walked twice and scored a pair of runs for Labette.
Carissa Knight and McGinnis pitched for Allen, allowing a combined seven hits with McGinnis striking out a pair of Labette batters.
Allen is at Johnson County Tuesday before hosting Independence Thursday.
