MOARK Sports Report 5/3

A recap of Tuesday events including a state track championship and a preview of today including some events rescheduled due to potential Thursday weather.

The events heard on MOARK Sports Tuesday included another one-run game involving the Branson Baseball Pirates as they dropped a 7-6 decision at Willard. The Pirates trailed early 5-0 but fought back to tie the game in the seventh inning only to have the Tigers get a run to win it in the bottom of that inning. The last four Pirate games have all been one-run decisions with the Pirates dropping three of those four games. 

Another Branson-Willard match-up happened in soccer with the Lady Pirates hosting the Lady Tigers at Pirates Stadium. The Lady Pirates were able to earn a 3-1 win. Branson will be back in action today at Lebanon. 

In softball, the Harrison Lady Goblins wrapped up their regular season with a 14-0 win at Siloam Springs. The Lady Goblins will play in the 5A State Tournament in Marion next week with all of their games in the tournament covered by MOARK Sports Dot Com. 

In other events, Yellville-Summit once again claims a girls State Track Championship winning the 2A Event for the third year in a row. The Lady Panthers took first place in eight events in winning the title. 

In the 3A State Meet at Clarksville, Green Forest finished sixth in the girls meet led by Lydia Russell's four first place finishes. 

Today, some events involving Branson High School have been moved to today from Thursday. The Central Ozark Conference Track meet will take place this afternoon and the Boys Tennis Match at Joplin will be played as part of today's COC Championship already scheduled in Joplin.
