Bartlesville Slow Pitch Softball: State Tournament Ready, But Facing Tough Opponent in First Round
The Bartlesville slow pitch softball team is just hours away from competing in the 6A State Tournament on Tuesday morning. They will be facing Choctaw in the first round of the eight-team single-elimination tournament. Two Bartlesville seniors, Allie Scullawl and Chelsea Goddard, have been instrumental in leading the team deep into the postseason. Scullawl is the team’s everyday pitcher, while both players have been performing well at the plate.
Bartlesville head coach Kyle Minton speaks highly of his senior leaders and is confident in their abilities. The Bruins have been on a roll in recent weeks, especially with impressive wins over Owasso in the Regional tournament to secure their spot at state. Minton emphasizes the importance of maintaining their current level of play as they head into the Final 8.
The game will kick off at 10:00 in the morning at OG&E Field at USA Hall of Fame Stadium. Choctaw, with a record of 25-3 on the season, will pose a tough challenge for Bartlesville. If they win, Bartlesville will advance to face the winner of Moore and Mustang at 1:00. However, if they lose, the Bruin’s season will come to an end. It’s a high-stakes game for Bartlesville as they look to continue their successful season and advance in the state tournament.
