If the Fatima Lady Comets have shown anything this season, it’s they are capable of finding power hitting anywhere in their lineup, Nos. 1-9. It was Kristen Robertson’s time to shine Tuesday night. The junior third baseman drove the first pitch she saw in the bottom of the fourth inning over the left-field fence for a three-run home run. That blast was the difference in a 4-1 victory against the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons in the Class 3 District 5 Tournament championship game at Southern Boone High School.
On to the next one for the Fatima Lady Comets. Taylor Baumhoer and Mia Kliethermes combined to toss a one-hit shutout in the circle and Kinzey Woody finished a single shy of the cycle and drove in six runs for the top-seeded Lady Comets, leading to a 10-0 run-rule victory in five innings Monday against the No. 4 seed California Lady Pintos in the semifinals of the Class 3 District 5 Tournament at Southern Boone High School.
WESTPHALIA The Fatima Lady Comets never lost in the month of September. They opened October with a rematch against the second-ranked team in the state.
So far, the Lady Comets are 1-0 this month.
