OKLAHOMA CITY — Western Heights earned an 11-0 shutout of Santa Fe South Thursday (Oct. 1) on Senior Night for the Jets.
The squad honored outfielder Khamiyah Laster, the team’s lone senior.
Laster was a part of the Western Heights offense, which scored five runs in the first inning, capped off by her inside-the-park home run.
Singles by junior Jalesa Asimba, freshman Scarlet Jones, a walk to Abigail Bise, a Saint error and a passed ball led to the big inning.
In the second inning, Asimba tripled home Oakley Bingen and Paola Ortiz. Bingen reached on a error and Ortiz walked with one out. Asimba came home on a single from Jones. Bise added a triple of her own and scored on a passed ball for a 10-0 lead.
In the third inning, Western Heights added one more run. Junior Aubrey Kerchee walked and stole second. She moved to third base on a groundout by junior Ann Marie Bohnstedt and scored on a passed ball.
The Jets had six hits and took advantage of four errors by Santa Fe South.
Asimba and Jones each went 2-for-2 in the win.
In the circle, Asimba allowed a hit to lead off the game and proceeded to retire nine straight batters before an error to lead off the fourth inning. She allowed two hits overall, walked none and struck out five batters.
