A hard-hitting Enid squad, a 28-game winner out of Class 6A, scored eight runs in the fifth inning to enact a 21-8 run-rule victory over El Reno High School’s fast-pitch softball team.

The loss, which gave the season series to the Pacers, came on the heels of El Reno’s 7-3 road win over Clinton a day earlier.

The split left the Indians with a 13-14 season record.

Enid bats tagged El Reno pitchers Zoey Pawnee and Taylor Acosta for 21 runs off 17 hits and five walks over five innings. The pair had just one strikeout.

Despite winning two straight and four of its last five matches, El Reno High School’s volleyball team slipped a spot in the latest Class 5A poll as the postseason looms near.

El Reno, now 17-11 on the season, dropped to 13th in the polls with a 17-11 overall record.

The Indians defeated Santa Fe South (3-1) at home before taking to the road for a 3-0 win over Hennessey by scores of 25-14/25-11 and 25-2.

Calumet High School’s baseball team tuned up for the regional round of the Class B playoffs by defeating No.10 Amber-Pocasset (2A) 7-3 last week to extend its current win streak to four games.

Calumet logged 30 hits for the four-game run off a .345 average. Nine of those hits went for extra bases including triples from Kingston Arnold and Wyatt Cox.

Union City and Okarche High School’s fast-pitch softball teams took a step closer to making the Class A state tournament by winning district titles, but both state-ranked clubs will be on the road for regional play.

Union City, ranked No.14 in the state, won the District 15 title with a sweep of Strother (11-0/10-2).

The Tigers dropped a 6-4 game to Class B’s 14th-ranked Davenport in a tuneup game to take a 23-9 record into the regional round.
