Alyssa Spane (4-2) went the distance for Oran (10-4) in the circle, tossing a three-hit, four-inning shutout.  She struck out three and did not walk a batter.

Coach Jim Eftink told the blog, "Once again lots of big hits. Kaylee ripped a home run for the second day in a row and there were several shots off the wall. Lots of hard contact.  We’re on a little run right now where we’re playing very good ball. Hopefully, we can keep this going through next week and into districts"

The junior varsity got in two innings of action, Oran came out on top 5-3.

With today's rainout, the girls will next be in action on Tuesday when they host 8-8 New Madrid County Central at 4:30
