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.
On paper, it was the No. 1-ranked team against No. 3. On the scoreboard, it wasn’t quite that close. The first five Fatima batters reached base Wednesday night, and they never slowed down from there. The top-ranked Lady Comets dominated from start to finish in a 9-0 victory against the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons at Lions Field.
