Moore County’s Region appearance ran into a second-inning storm Monday.
District 10A champion Eagleville scored 10 runs in the bottom of the second inning and beat Moore County, 16-1, ending the Raiderettes’ season.
Moore County entered as the District 9A runner-up after battling through the losers' bracket last week. But Eagleville showed its power early and never let Moore County settle in.
Eagleville – the defending Class 1A state champion – struck first in the bottom of the first inning. Ashtyn Walker homered to left field, Madison Davenport singled to center, and Cate Darnell doubled to right, with each hit driving in a run. That gave the Eagles a 3-0 lead after one inning.
Then came the decisive second.
Eagleville scored 10 runs on eight hits in the inning, turning the game into a runaway. An error brought in one run before Walker delivered the biggest blow of the day – a grand slam to left field. Sophie Brower added a groundout that scored two runs, Remi Cook homered to center to bring in two more, and Madi Kendrick followed with a solo home run to center.
By the time Moore County got out of the inning, Eagleville led 13-0.
Eagleville added three more runs in the third. Marilyn Fluty singled in a run, and Brower doubled to bring home two more.
Jenny Sanders drove in Moore County’s lone run and went 1-for-2 at the plate. Anna Deaton and Ellie Carter each added one hit.
Davenport, who started the 2025 state title game, earned the win for Eagleville. She allowed three hits and one run over three innings while striking out six and walking none.
Kinsley Miller took the loss for Moore County. She worked one inning, allowing eight runs, seven earned, on seven hits while walking one.
Eagleville finished with 14 hits. Walker paced Eagleville’s lineup, going 2-for-3 with five RBIs. Fluty went 3-for-4, while Davenport, Kendrick, and Presley Holland each added multiple hits.
