If Salado had not faced the Caldwell Lady Hornets in the first round of the Franklin Tournament, they would have likely met in the final. But the luck of the draw gave the Lady Eagles their first loss of the young softball season as Caldwell’s Casey Kauder recorded 16 strikeouts as the Lady Hornets won 2-0.

Malory Schattle was the only Lady Eagles to get a hit, with a fourth inning single. Abbie James and CeCe Cantu also got to base on walks.

Meagan Hill struck out seven batters and allowed five hits and two earned runs. Blair Clayton scored in the second inning after singling, knocked in by Britani Baker’s triple.

Gaby Martinez led off the fifth with a single and scored on a sacrifice.
