Mules softball grabs first win of the year

The Poplar Bluff Lady Mules earned their first win of the season Wednesday when they hit the road and took down North County, 4-1.

Poplar Bluff fell to Oakville and Neelyville on Friday to start the season but delivered a clutch road win to get back on the right track.

The Mules jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second and never looked back after adding a run in the third and fifth before the Lady Raiders got on the board in the bottom of the sixth.

M Eason threw seven innings and struck out five while Kennedy Zgaynor had a standout day at the plate.

The senior went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs for the Lady Mules.

A Valenzuela went 2-for-3 from the top of the lineup and added two RBIs to go with her double and single.

M King had two RBIs for the Lady Mules while E Blancett had two hits.

Poplar Bluff plays at 4:30 p.m. today when they take on the Sikeston Lady Bulldogs.
