The Delaware Hayes softball team scored a combined eight runs in the first three innings before erupting for 10 more in the fourth on the way to a lopsided 18-2, five-inning win over visiting Worthington Kilbourne Thursday afternoon.
Lauren Tompkins led the charge at the plate, setting the tone with a three-run double in the first.
Turns out, she was just warming up. Tompkins connected on a two-run homer to make it 6-0 in the second, then hit another two-run bomb in the fourth to make it a 16-2 game.
Tompkins finished 3-for-4 with seven RBI when all was said and done. She also scored a pair of runs. Other Hayes standouts included Lizzy Gould, who was 2-for-3 with three runs and three knocked in; and the duo of Bronwynn Leighty and Rylea Gist, who had two hits apiece.
Leighty earned the win in the circle, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out seven in five innings of work.
