LABELLE- The LaBelle High School varsity softball team completed a season sweep over the Clewiston Lady Tigers this season.

In their first matchup back on Feb. 24 in Clewiston, the Cowgirls jumped out to a 6-3 lead after the first inning. The LaBelle defense would hold Clewiston scoreless for the rest of the game and the Cowgirls would take a big 19-3 victory over the Lady Tigers.

Cierra Tomac and Jaslene Martinez each had two hits and three RBIs in the win, while Braulynne Flores had three hits and two RBIs. Payton Crews struck out five batters in three innings for the Cowgirls.

That strong defensive stand in the second half of that game carried on into their next matchup on March 24 in LaBelle. The Cowgirls held Clewiston scoreless and earned an 11-0 victory.

Crews struck out 11 batters in five innings and gave up no hits. Crews also had four RBIs on the night, including a double and a triple. Tomac led the team with three hits, while Crews and Neveah Crumb each had two hits. LaBelle was also aggressive once on base, with six stolen bases against Clewiston.

LaBelle closes out the regular season this year with a road game against the Evangelical Christian Lady Sentinels on April 24. Evangelical Christian eked out a one-run win in their first matchup on March 27, winning 13-12.
