Lady Quail Beat Basin Scorpions in Regional Rematch; Moonlight Magic Holds by Daylight

QUAIL HOLLOW HS DIAMOND— Two months after their moonlight extra-innings classic, Quail Hollow and Basin Scorpions met in regional semifinals under a sun so polite it felt like an apology. The pitchers’ duel returned—Basin ace Taylor Tarantula spinning rise balls that flirted with physics; Quail Hollow’s Jordan Jackrabbit answering with a two-run homer in the fifth that landed shy of the junior high trumpet section by a responsible margin.

Quail pushed insurance runs across in the sixth on a squeeze bunt so pretty the third-base coach tipped his visor to Taylor at the mound. Final: 5–2, mercy nowhere in sight because both teams deserved the full nine.

Jordan told your reporter the tenth-inning bomb from February “taught her to swing like the lights are always on.” Taylor vowed to be back next fall; Quail vowed to keep the hot-dog inventory stocked through state weekend.

Regional final Saturday. Fans advised to bring chairs and the stubborn refusal to leave early—a Quail Hollow specialty.
