Wolves Blow Out Coppell in District Opener

3/7/2023 10:00 pm

A 7-run second inning led Plano West to victory in their district opener on Tuesday night. The Wolves put the pressure on from the start, scoring 3 runs in the first and then the additional 7 in the second. Coppell managed 3 runs spread throughout the game, but it was not enough to beat the offense-dominating Wolves.

Senior Brooke Hilton drove in the first two runs with her deep line drive to left field. Junior Carra Cleaves pushed the third across the plate with her line drive single. But the biggest inning came in the second with RBIs posted by Sophomore Izzy Dunn, Hilton, Cleaves, and Freshman Abby Chunn.

Cleaves toes the rubber for Plano West. The hurler surrendered three runs on eight hits over six innings, striking out three and walking one. Junior MC Pollacia pitched an efficient 7-pitch inning in the seventh in relief to end the game.

The Wolves racked up 19 hits in the game. Hilton, Senior Adayah Wallace, Cleaves, Dunn, Sophomore Elyse Mikes, and Freshman Abby Jennings all posted multiple hits in the game. Hilton led the charge going 4 for 5 at the plate.

Plano West's next game is Friday at home against Plano Senior.
