Kitty Kats Split Games

Body
The Yorktown Kitty Kat softball team opened up District 312A play this week and split their games. On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, Yorktown traveled to Three Rivers and the host Lady Bulldogs were not kind as they defeated the Kitty Kats, 10-0. Three Rivers’ pitching was very effective and held Yorktown to two base hits:a double by senior DJ Maciel and the other, a single by freshman Claire Person. On Friday, March 8, 2024, the Kitty Kats hosted the Runge Lady Jackets, who technically is in their district but does not count as a district opponent because they are Class 1A. Yorktown easily defeated Runge, 13-2. Yorktown freshman Kaylor Carriger struck out seven batters and only allowed two hits, as she picked up her second win of the season. Maciel scored three runs, while Carriger, junior Faith Everitt, and freshmen Rylie Krueger and Amaya Luna all scored twice. Freshman Paige Deleon had two RBIs, while Luna also stole two bases.
