The Conway High Lady Cats found their offense in a 12-1 shortened six-inning game against Little Rock Central Tuesday at Interstate Park in Little Park.
The shortened victory, because of the run rule, puts the Lady Cats at 4-10 overall and 2-2 in the 7A-Central conference and drops the Tigers to 0-4 on the season.
Conway's offense was led by Hannah Cooper, a senior, who went 4-for-5 with six RBIs. Her most impressive at bat was an inside-the-park-grand slam. Interstate park isn’t a regulation softball field and has a length of 300 feet instead of the normal 200, making the Lady Cat offense that much more impressive.
CHS coach Chad Longing praised Cooper and the team's hitting and described the game as a “huge victory for Conway” as far as getting his team back on track.
The rest of the offense and scoring was rounded out by Maddie Shaw, who went 3-for-4 at the plate with a walk and two RBIs, and Cheyenne Kuhn, who went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run. Deonna Howard also contributed an RBI and went 3-for-4.
Kayla Hickey was the winning pitcher for the Lady Cats. In six innings, she allowed one earned run and struck out four.
The Lady Cats' next game is Thursday, April 7 against Bryant.
