Golden Eagles cruise to lopsided league win

0

The Big Walnut softball team scored five times in each of the first two innings en route to a lopsided 12-2, five-inning win over visiting New Albany Wednesday in Sunbury.

The Golden Eagles finished with 15 hits in the win, none bigger than Alexyss Bullock’s three-run homer — a blast which ballooned the lead to 9-1 in the second inning.

Bullock finished 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. Other BW standouts included Stacey Walters, who finished with three hits and three RBI; Jess Coletta and Taryn Hammond, who collected two hits apiece; and Meredith Thomas, who scored three runs.

Alex Thomas, meanwhile, pitched well to secure the win in the circle. She allowed two runs on four hits while striking out seven in five innings of action.

Westerville North 11, Olentangy 7

Sophie Low led the Braves, finishing a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Warriors’ 17-hit attack Wednesday in Lewis Center.

Westerville North scored three runs in the first to set the tone. It added four more in the third to take a 7-1 lead.

Olentangy battled back, scoring two runs in the third and two more in the fourth, but the Warriors plated a combined four runs in the final two innings to create some separation.

Kristen Bartel and Sydney Hall each finished with two hits and two RBI for the Braves.

Also: Liberty 6, Westerville South 0; Westerville Central 11, Orange 1, 5 inn.; North Union 16, Buckeye Valley 0, 5 inn.
