SPRINGFIELD — The Fatima Lady Comets came back from a nine-run deficit to win last year’s state championship. So when they faced a two-run deficit against the St. Francis Borgia Lady Knights, the Lady Comets acted like they had been there before and handled it like a walk in the park. Fatima only trailed for a few minutes Friday, scoring 12 unanswered runs and cruising to a 12-2 victory in five innings to claim its second straight Class 3 state title at Killian Softball Complex.

If the Fatima Lady Comets have shown anything this season, it’s they are capable of finding power hitting anywhere in their lineup, Nos. 1-9. It was Kristen Robertson’s time to shine Tuesday night.

On paper, it was the No. 1-ranked team against No. 3. On the scoreboard, it wasn’t quite that close. The first five Fatima batters reached base Wednesday night, and they never slowed down from there. The top-ranked Lady Comets dominated from start to finish in a 9-0 victory against the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons at Lions Field.

Good pitching and defense led the way Tuesday night for the Fatima Lady Comets. Mia Kliethermes allowed just two hits in six innings in the circle and the Lady Comets made just one error, leading the way to a 6-2 victory against the Jefferson City Lady Jays at Jefferson City High School.
