OCEAN SPRINGS — The Ocean Springs High softball team celebrated “Senior Night” Wednesday night by completing a sweep of Biloxi.

The Lady Greyhounds clipped the Lady Indians 4-2 in Region 4-7A action to remain atop the league standings. The decision was the back half of a two day, two-game home-and-home series between the longtime rivals as OSHS took game one Tuesday night 9-3 at the Biloxi Sports Complex.

The pair of wins moved the Lady Greyhounds to 6-0 in the region race and 17-7 overall.

K’Lee Gum, Taylor Farra, Addison Johnson and Emma Franklin each collected two hits apiece Tuesday night to combine for eight of the 12 OSHS hits in the game-winning attack. Both Franklin and Farra each had an RBI-double apiece in a three-run first frame that gave the home team a quick lead it would never relinquish.

In the circle, Franklin breezed through the first six stanzas with a one-hit shutout, before easing up a little in the last inning as Biloxi broke through a bit. She still picked up the win, striking out seven in the process.
