Softball Recap: Shallowater Find Success

Shallowater came out on top against Floydada on Saturday thanks in part to the team's impressive five-run sixth inning. The Mustangs skirted past the Whirlwinds 5-3. That's more bragging rights for the Mustangs, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Gracie Banks was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits (and not a single walk). Banks was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one run and one double.

In other batting news, Phoenix Navejar was excellent, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March of 2025.

Shallowater has started the season off flawlessly and has a 2-0 record to show for it.

Coincidentally, Shallowater and Floydada will both be playing Lubbock the next time they take the field. The Mustangs will head out to face the Westerners at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, while the Whirlwinds will play them later in the day, at 4:20 p.m.
