HOUSTON — Thanks in large part to tireless efforts by adult volunteers to get the fields ready, the annual Houston Softball Showcase’s second day was salvaged on Saturday, after rain washed out Friday’s schedule.

The host Houston Lady Wildcats split two games, as did Sidney and Russia. Fort Loramie lost both their contests on Saturday.

• Sidney took on Fort Loramie in its first game and the Lady Jackets were able to run-rule the Lady Redskins 13-3 thanks to six runs in the first and five more in the third.

Sidney’s offense produced 17 hits, led by Morgan Carey, who was 4-for-4 with a three-run double and three runs scored.

Grace Shell and Maddie White were both 2-for-4, with White driving in two runs, and Hayden Spurgeon belted a home run.

• In Sidney’s second outing, against 17-1 Parkway, which came into the game ranked fourth in the state in Division 4, the Lady Jackets pushed the Lady Panthers to the limit before falling 7-5.

The score was tied at 1-1 after three innings, but Parkway struck for six runs in the top of the fourth.

Sidney never recovered, but didn’t go down without a fight. The Lady Jackets scored three times in the bottom of the seventh and had runners at second and third with one out in the bottom of the seventh. But a strikeout and a ground out followed.

Parkway outhit the Lady Jackets 12-6.

L. Shawnee 6, Russia 3

RUSSIA — Russia was able to get back on the diamond Saturday, and dropped a 6-3 verdict to visiting Lima Shawnee in non-league baseball action.

The loss left the Raiders with a 17-5 record going into sectional tournament play on Wednesday at home.

Russia plated all three of its runs in the bottom of the first but couldn’t add to it. Shawnee broke through with two in the fourth, then scored four more times in the sixth.

Dion Puthoff led off the bottom of the first with a double, and came around to score on an error off the bat of Dylan Cordonnier.

Drew Sherman then reached on a fielder’s choice, with Cordonnier out at second, and Hunter Cohee and Kevin Drees both followed with singles to plate two more.

After that, however, the Raiders added just four more hits the rest of the way.

Shawnee got a single, a double and a single to score twice in the fourth. Then in the sixth, an error and a walk started the inning off. Another walk and two more singles gave Shawnee the lead.

Drees was 2-for-4 for the Raiders and Jack Dapore also had a double.
