HCS Softball Wins; Baseball Loses

Fri, May 06, 2011

Becca Rogers throw her third no-hitter of the year in a monster win by the Lady Emerald Knights.

HCS Softball Wins; Baseball Loses

HCS split its two home games with Poland this afternoon:

  • the softball team shellacked the visitors 14-0,
  • but the baseball team was stung by a 17-5 loss.

Becca Rogers threw her third non-hitter in four games for the Lady Emerald Knights. She struck out 10 and walked just five.

Things stayed dead even through the first three and a half innings. HCS scored twice in the fourth, and appeared as though the Lady Emerald Knights would by get by with a squeaker ... until the bottom of the sixth. That's when Hamilton's bats were reenergized and the home team ran off 12 runs.

Everyone contributed to the win:

  • Katie Weeks (in photo) was 2 for 5 including a single and a double, scored once, had 1 RBI and 2 stolen bases;
  • Rachel Holcomb 1 for 4, 1 stolen base, scored once;
  • Rogers 1 for 4, scored twice;
  • Sara Whyatt (who returned to line-up after injury) went 2 for 3, including a double and a single;
  • Jordan Peterson 2 for 4 including a double, scored 2x, 4 RBI's;
  • Kelby Watkins 3 for 3, scored twice, including a triple and 2 RBI's;
  • Lauren Weeks 1 for 4 with 2 RBI;
  • Hayden Nolan 1 for 2, scored once;
  • Jenna Schell 1 for 4 scored once;
  • and Kendall Rusch 1 for 1.

Hamilton is now 7-2 on the season.

On the other HCS diamond, things were not nearly as rosy.

Poland's Matt Dexter hit a first inning grand slam to start the scoring, and the Tornadoes ran up a cushy 8-0 lead before the Emerald Knights came to the plate.

Hamilton had nine hits Friday, including a home run by Sam Hale.

Lucas Rhyde was Hamilton's losing pitcher.
