The Lady Rangers broke their losing streak with a win over East Central University this weekend ending in a 1-2 finish in the 3-game series for NWOSU.
Northwestern had a nine-game losing streak before their trip to Ada, where they ended it quickly with a 2-0 win over the Tigers. In that win, the Lady Rangers scored in the first and final innings with a pair of homeruns. Kaitlyn Corn scored the first homerun, the second was scored by Gabrielle Sanchez.
After the first win, the Tigers flipped the story and won the second game by just one. East Central scored in the third and fourth innings. In the fifth, Taygan Graham made a hit and there was an error from the Tigers’ second baseman. Raelynn Sandlin was able to run home amidst the chaos to give the Lady Rangers their only run of the night.
In the third and final game, the Lady Rangers were unable to score and lost the game 4-0.
The next games on the schedule are the first home games of the season for the Lady Rangers. They face Southeastern Oklahoma State in a double header on Friday and one game on Saturday to finish off the three-game series.
NWOSU sits 11th in the standings.
