Zoey Mullings shut down Purdy’s high-octane lineup in Sunday’s spring softball state championship, striking out eight in Strafford’ 3-0 win at Killian Softball Complex.
Mikey Schad drove in runs in the fifth and sixth innings, breaking a 0-0 tie and giving Hallie Henderson enough run support on the mound to push Purdy past Pierce City and to state.
Purdy pushed its win streak to 18 with a 15-0 final Monday in Crane behind three no-hit innings by Hallie Henderson and a pair of three-hit efforts from Rion Boyd and Mickey Schad.
