Lady Roos advance to regional quarters at ACU
By Melissa Winn
To make sure his girls stayed focused on the task at hand — beating El Paso Hanks — Beyer confiscated all cell phones for the nearly five-hour bus ride to Odessa Friday.
And, apparently, it worked.
Weatherford went out and beat El Paso Hanks, winning the best-of-three series, 2-1. The Lady Roos advance to take on Lubbock Coronado in the regional quarterfinals Friday and Saturday.
Again a best-of-three series, all games will be on the campus of Abilene Christian University. Friday’s Game 1 begins at 7:30 p.m., Saturday’s Game 2 at noon and, if necessary, Game 3 about 30 minutes after the conclusion of Game 2.
The Lady Roos began the El Paso Hanks series with a 1-0 win in eight innings Friday after a 10-strikeout performance by Hannah Schnebly.
Saturday’s second game found Weatherford on the opposite end of the scoreboard but they rebounded to win Game 3, 5-0. Schnebly was strong again for the Lady Roos, holding El Paso Hanks to five hits.
New shirts
Beyer said a new batch of Lady Roos playoff shirts should be in today, May 7, and available for purchase. Cost of the shirts is $12. To buy, see Beyer at Weatherford High School or call 817-598-2867.
Henderson signs
Senior Shawna Henderson signed a scholarship April 21 to play softball and sing in the choir at Texas Wesleyan University.
Henderson was responsible for Friday’s Game 1 win as she tripled in the eighth inning to score Megan Askew from first base and end the game.
