In their final meeting as district foes, the Thorndale Lady Dogs (23-10) and Thrall Tigerettes (24-10) softball teams locked horns in a best-of-three regional quarterfinals series this week. Thorndale took the first game 5-4 on Wednesday night and finished the sweep with a 5-1 win Thursday night. The Lady Dogs ended Thrall’s season and advanced to the regional semifinals next week.
Thorndale’s Karis Ginn handcuffed the Thrall hitters Thursday night in Taylor, holding the Tigerettes to one run on three hits to secure the win for the Lady Dogs.
Thorndale held a 3-0 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning when the Tigerettes finally broke through for their only run of the game. Ashlyn Jarosek walked to lead off the inning and moved to third on Bri Jarosek’s single to right. But Thorndale scored a pair of runs in the top of the seventh to put the game away.
