The Eufaula Lady Ironheads (8-11) lit up the scoreboard Tuesday night, cruising past the Idabel Warriors 15-0 in a dominant all-around performance. The victory was fueled by Leah Green’s clutch bat and overpowering arm, as the senior delivered one of the most memorable outings of the season.

With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Green turned on a pitch and blasted a grand slam to right field, sending the Eufaula dugout into a frenzy and sealing the rout.

Briley Gragg drew a basesloaded walk to plate the first run, followed by an RBI single from Abby Box. Burkleigh Lange and Maddison Lee each drove in runs with productive outs before Hannah Needham ripped an RBI double. The rally continued as Emma Lovett delivered a two-run single, Ava Neill hammered a double, and Gragg capped the frame with another RBI double.
