Kinley Fletchall, Gabbey Maudlin Combine on Two Hitter, JH Tigers Win

Kinley Fletchall and Gabbey Maudlin shut down a potent Bluejay lineup with a combined two hitter and Worth County’s junior high picked up an 8-2 win Monday. The Tigers chipped away every inning, scoring in each of the first four innings to get the win.

In the Tiger first, Kinley Fletchall and Renae Gladstone singled. They later came around to score on a dropped fly ball to make it 2-0. The Tigers kept NEN off the board in the second when Fletchall tagged Chloe Burns trying to come home on a passed ball. 

Bella Blankenship singled to left, reached third on an errant pickoff, and Kaydence Downing walked and stole second in the Tiger second. They both came home on Kinley Fletchall’s second hit to make it 4-0.

Worth County continued to keep the Bluejays off the board in the third as catcher Renae Gladstone gunned down Eryn O’Connell trying to steal second. 

With one out in the Tiger third, Catelynn Moyer walked and Jane Hawk singled. Bella Blankenship walked and Kaydence Downing singled in two runs to make it 6-0. Kinley Fletchall hit a pop fly to right that dropped in and score a run to make it 7-0. 

Kinley Fletchall, who has thrown two no-hitters this year, made a bid for a third, but Rylee Scadden broke up her bid in the Bluejay fourth by beating out an infield hit. 

Brooklyn Smith singled and stole second and came home as Northeast threw it around trying to get her out to make it 8-0.

With one out in the Bluejay fifth, Addie Thummel singled to right center. Chloe Burns walked. Brianna Riley caught Emma Wilmes’ screamer at short for the second out, but a double steal and a wild pitch scored Thummel to make it 8-1 and break the shutout. Audrie Villegas and Kiley Yost were plunked and Eryn O’Connell reached as Burns beat out a force try at home to make it 8-2.
