Due to bad weather, Southmoore ended last week on a low note. The SaberCats were swept by Norman High Thursday night in Senior Division Pure Prairie League action.

The Tigers’ Thomas Keith and Daniel Armstrong were too much for Southmoore pitchers as they led Norman to a pair of victories, 10-2 and 9-7.

In the opener, Keith went deep with a two-run home run in the third inning, while Armstrong went 4-for-4 with a triple and four RBIs.

In the nightcap, it was Armstrong who went deep, while Keith hit a pair of doubles. Derek Campbell struck out seven in four innings to pick up the early win, while Austin Voss got the nightcap win in relief.

The Cats were looking to get back into action Saturday with a pair of games against Enid. However, a thunderstorm rolled through Cleveland County and swallowed up the baseball fields at Hillsdale Bible College.

‘It got rained out,” Southmoore coach Shannon Enfield said. “All the games were canceled.”

The SaberCats will get back to work this week with four doubleheaders. That includes traveling to Choctaw today, Duncan Friday and hosting Norman High Saturday at Hillsdale.

But the highlight of the week will take place Thursday when the coaching staff takes Southmoore players and parents to watch a Major League Baseball game.

“We are taking a trip to Arlington for a Rangers/Braves game,” Enfield said. “It’s a team-building activity. It’s a chance for the parents and players to get together. We will try to do different things to try and get them acting as a unit.”

Enfield said trips like this are a good way to bring the team together. He doesn’t plan to stop them once the summer concludes.

“In the fall we will have different things planned,” Enfield said. “They may be as simple as a cookout or some type of trip. We want them to interact with each other than on a baseball field.”
