Guymon’s seventh-inning stretch ended up plucking two road wins off the victory tree from El Reno High School’s softball team last week in District 5A-2 action.
The two one-run setbacks at Guymon, 3-2 and 4-3, extended El Reno’s current losing streak to three straight games as the Indians slipped to 3-9 on the season.
Kylee Webb’s team is now sixth in the 5A-2 standings at 1-5, while the Tigers jumped to third.
El Reno took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning in game one before Guymon hit a walk-off double with two runners on base.
Delayed a week due to COVID-19 issues, El Reno High School’s volleyball team kicked off the home portion of its 2021 schedule with a 3-0 win over U.S. 81 rival Chickasha last week.

El Reno trailed only twice in the match in games one and two, but never more than three points. The Indians rallied from those deficits at the serving line, closing with a 94.5 percent effort (69-of-73) with 14 aces.
