Fort Scott blanks Louisburg

FORT SCOTT – The schedule has been rough on the Louisburg softball team lately.

The Lady Cats opened with two losses against reigning Frontier League champion Paola last week and their most recent test came Tuesday in Fort Scott.

Louisburg faced off with Fort Scott for the first time since the Tigers defeated the Lady Cats last season in the third-place game of the Class 4A Division I tournament. Fort Scott did the same Tuesday.

Fort Scott’s Kyenne Wade pitched a perfect game in the opener and struck out 13 Louisburg batters on its way to a 10-0 victory.  The Tigers made it a sweep with a 15-0 victory as the Lady Cats managed just one single.

The Lady Cats will try and get that first win today when they host Prairie View in their home opener at Lewis-Young Park. First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.
