Checotah Lady Wildcat ace pitcher Shaelynn Casey delivered a masterpiece Tuesday night, tossing a no-hitter to lead Checotah (6-3) to a commanding 10-1 victory over Locust Grove.

Casey was lights-out in the circle, silencing the Locust Grove lineup while her offense exploded for 12 hits.

Vandiver and Madewell power the offense Layna Vandiver was nearly unstoppable at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double and two singles. She and Shyanne Madewell teamed up back-to-back in the lineup to create constant problems for Locust Grove, with Madewell also racking up three hits, including a clutch RBI double in the sixth inning.

Aurora Madewell and Teagan Madewell each added multiple hits, while Carly Dismukes showed patience at the plate, drawing two walks as Checotah worked six total free passes on the night.

Sixth-inning breakthrough

After taking an early 1-0 lead in the third on an error, the Lady Wildcats broke the game wide open in the sixth. Five consecutive hits sparked a five-run outburst, highlighted by doubles from Vandiver and Shyanne Madewell, along with an RBI single from Aurora Madewell.

Team effort seals the win

Checotah’s defense stayed sharp, turning a double play to back up Casey’s historic performance. Locust Grove’s starter, Huffman, struggled under the relentless Checotah bats, surrendering 11 hits and eight runs (two earned) in just less than six innings.

With Casey dealing in the circle and the lineup firing on all cylinders, the Lady Wildcats left no doubt they were the dominant team from start to finish.
