usual for the Trojans, who after three games remain undefeated this season.

Stanton County's Undefeated Season Over After Four Games
Stanton County fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Lakin on

Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the
Broncs by a score of 12-11. The loss was the Trojans' first of the season.
Kaydence McCleary was huge no matter where she played even without the win.
She struck out 11 batters over 7.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and six
unearned) runs off four hits. McCleary was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with one
home run and three runs. That home run marked the first that she launched this season.
In other batting news, Summer Kendrick was cooking despite her team's loss,
scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in four of her six plate
appearances. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at
least one in each of the last three games she's played. The team also got some help
courtesy of Karlee Nairn, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-4.
Valeria Ortega went 3 for 6 to lead the Trojans in hits. Summer Kendrick 2 singles,
Kaydence McCleary 1 single and 1 homerun, Kynzi Fehringer 1 homerun, Ella Krier
single, Mia Miravete single, Karlee Narin single.

A total of 8 RBI’s – Valeria Ortega 2, Kynzi Fehringer 2, Sidney Parks 1, Kaydence
McCleary 1 Mia Miravete 1 and Karlee Nairn 1. Runs scored – Kaydence McCleary 3,
Karlee Nairn 2, Summer Kendrick 2, 1 each to Valeria Ortega, Kenzi Fehringer, Ella
Krier and Mia Miravete.
4 Stolen bases – Summer Kendrick 2, Karlee Nairn and Mia Miravete 1 each.
Even though they lost, Stanton County lost a few balls and finished the game with
two home runs from Kaydence McCleary, over the fence and Kynzi Fehringer in the
park. That’s the most home runs they’ve managed all season.
