Indians miscues aid Chickasha in U.S. 81 rivalry

Body

El Reno High School renewed the U.S. 81 Battle with Chickasha last week at the Hub Reed Complex, allowing 11 base hits to the Class 4A powerhouse in a non-district outing.

However, it was the self-inflicted wounds in the form of two fielding errors, two balks and a wild pitch that had major impacts in the Indians 14-1 loss to the Chicks.

The setback, the second in the series by EHS, extended the Indians losing streak to six games.

El Reno took an 8-9 overall record into this week’s District 5A-1 series with co-frontrunner Carl Albert.
