MORAN — Marmaton Valley High softball had a tough go of it Thursday, falling 19-0 and 17-6 to the visiting Uniontown Eagles.
Uniontown took control early, scoring four runs in the top of the first of Game 1, before erupting for a combined 13 runs over the fourth and fifth innings.
The Wildcats, conversely, were limited to two hits, a second-inning single by Tayven Sutton and a third-inning single by Brooklyn Adams.
Marmaton Valley’s offense picked up its pace in the nightcap.
Trouble was, Uniontown was still in high gear as well.
The Eagles plated eight runs in the first inning and four more in the second to erase much doubt.
Adams and Braelyn Sutton each reached base in the bottom of the first and came around to score without benefit of a hit, taking advantage of a pair of hit batters and two more walks.
Adams, Sutton, Haylee Lanham and Mary Brown each scored in the bottom of the fifth to cap the Wildcats’ scoring.
Marmaton Valley travels to Cherokee Monday for a doubleheader against the Southeast Lancers.
