Portal MS notches softball win
    PORTAL —     The Lady Panthers on Portal’s middle school softball team ended a long drought Tues-day, notching a 15-9 victory over Collins for its first win in over a year.
    Colby Motes went the distance on the mound for Portal, striking out seven.
    The Panthers were on the brink of another loss, but a nine-run, seven-hit outburst in the sixth inning allowed them to finally break through.
    Sloan Aubrey led the offensive charge, going 4-for-5 with a double and four runs scored.
    Brianna Aldridge scored twice and recorded three hits and three steals. Madison Williams added a pair of hits and Motes helped her cause at the plate with two hits of her own.
    Portal’s varsity squad wasn’t quite as fortunate, dropping a 9-6 decision to ECI Tuesday evening.
    Keri Carter struck out seven Lady Bulldogs, but seven walks and nine hits allowed ECI to rally.
