Doyline managed a split in a pair of early week games, roaring past Southwood’s Cowboys Monday  before falling to Quitman Tuesday.

Doyline 16, Southwood 1

An 11-run outburst in the first inning put the game out of reach as Doyline took advantage of 11 walks in the contest. Zach Normand’s two-run double was the big hit in the inning.

Doyline added another pair of runs in the second when Noah Spears tripled.

Normand earned the win for the Panthers and Chadarius Rhines took the loss for Southwood.

Ayden Moreno-Taule, Normand, and Spears each collected one hit for Doyline and Normand, Kenneth Anderson, and Spears each drove in two runs.

Jason Mosley led Southwood Varsity Cowboys with one hit and one run batted in.

Quitman 4, Doyline 1

Quitman jumped out front early when a Maddox Duck single, followed by a Doyline error pushed the Wolverines ahead 2-0, then winning pitcher Zach Smudricks shut down the Panthers with a two-hit, 13 strikeout performance.

Noah Spears took the loss for Doyline without giving up an earned run. He allowed only two hits, struck out eight and didn’t issue a walk over his six innings of work.

Zach Normand went one for three on the day with one RBI.  Zack Moseley had Doyline’s only other hit. Duck and Conner Oak each collected one hit for Quitman.

Doyline Lady Panthers 14, Haynesville 5

Karmadie Bartlett hit for the cycle and Doyline flipped the game with seven runs in the fifth inning to carry the Lady Panthers to a 14-5 win over Haynesville Tuesday.

Bartlett doubled in the first inning, had a solo home run and a triple in the big fifth, then singled in the seventh inning to complete her cycle.

Doyline scored in the first when Bartlett doubled to drive in one run and a triple by Savannah Stanley gave the Lady Panthers a 2-1 lead in the top of the third.

Five hits drove across five runs in the big fifth inning, with the key hit coming from Klaytin David with a two-RBI single.

Stanley was the winning pitcher,  giving up five hits and five runs (two earned) over seven innings, striking out five and walking two.

Doyline had 15 hits in the game with Lanie Gates picking up two hits in addition to Bartlett’s four. Stanley, Bartlett, and David each drove in three runs.
