MADRAS — Opening their softball season at home against Crook County, the Madras White Buffaloes won a slugfest, 19-14, after scoring 14 runs in the first three innings.

“There was a lot of offense,” Madras coach Shawna McConnell said. “It looks like a (junior varsity) basketball score.”

Cheyenne Parsons went three for four with a double and five runs batted in and Natalie Martin added a double, a triple and three RBIs to pace the White Buffalo offense.

Madras starter Jamie Moe earned the victory, pitching the first three innings of the game and part of the seventh. Moe helped out on offense as well with a two-run home run.

Loran Saenz led the Cowgirls at the plate, ending the day four for five with two doubles and an RBI. Miranda Smith went three for three with two RBIs and Kaylee Johnson contributed a solo home run and two RBIs. Smith, who started in the circle for Crook County, took the loss.
