The Mustang Broncos celebrated senior night on Tuesday and capped the festivities with a second straight dominant performance.
The Broncos (16-7, 9-1) recognized Olivia See, Mackie Vaught, Kiera McGahee, Landry Garza and Logan Pickelsimer before cruising to a 10-0, six-inning win over Lawton (6-13, 3-7) – the team’s second shutout in three days.
All five seniors contributed to the win.
Pickelsimer led the way with three hits and three RBI while Vaught reeled off two hits with a run scored. Garza went 1-for-4 at the plate and closed out the victory with four strikeouts over two innings from the circle. See showed her playmaking ability with a diving catch in center field.
McGahee earned the win as the starter, racking up six strikeouts while allowing just two hits over four innings. Mustang’s hurlers needed just 82 pitches to complete the run rule shutout.
Freshman Reese Poage drove in two runs while going 3-for-3. Junior Fae Cornish went 1-for-3 with a three-RBI triple and junior Eden Anderson went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Juniors Kenzie Sessions and Emerson Pegram each finished with one hit.
The win marked the third straight overall for Mustang and second straight in District 6A-1. The team travels to Edmond for a district rematch against Edmond Santa Fe (16-6, 7-2) tonight before returning home to host Norman (12-12, 4-6) on Monday.

Mustang tacked on two insurance runs in the top of the seventh.
Garza reached on a leadoff single and moved to second after a sacrifice bunt by junior Arionna McElroy. Cornish and freshman Abi Keele followed with back-to-back RBI singles to make it 6-0.
