GREENE – After two tough games on the road against Sidney and Deposit/Hancock, the Greene Trojans softball team headed home to play under the lights against non-league opponent Dryden. Greene didn’t waste any time picking up on Dryden’s mistakes and fired up their bats in the 19-0 victory in five innings. It marked the Trojans second win of the season in their second game at home.
Greene got on the board in the bottom of the first inning as Claire Flanagan reached on a dropped third strike, moved to second on an error, and went to third on a passed ball. She also scored on a passed ball to make it 1-0 Greene. Tatianna Wells and the Trojans defense kept the Lions quiet, so that the offense could get back to the plate and around the bases.
Greene batted around in the second inning, scoring nine runs. Audra Doll reached on a walk and rounded the bases on a steal and moved to third on Kenzie Button’s bunt. She ended up scoring on the throw. Button scored on a passed ball as Dryden continued having mishaps on defense to allow more base runners. In Doll’s second at-bat, she drove in a pair with a bases-loaded double before Button hit an RBI single to shortstop, where she beat the throw.
The Trojans added six more runs in the third inning after the defense turned a double play in the top half of the inning. With two runners on, the batter popped out to shortstop and the runner on second left the bag too early. Ahraya Whitt walked and Cali Knapp reached on an error to start the bottom half of the inning and Abby Yahner drew a full-count walk. Both would score on a long single by Rhea Malmquist. Two more batters walked to load the bases for Nadia Brown to drive in a pair. Whitt also drove in two runs with a single to right field in her second time up in the inning.
Greene added three final runs in their last at-bats in the bottom of the fourth. Alexis Cloyd entered the game in the top half of the inning and drilled a single to center field. She stole second base and moved to third on a passed ball and came into score on the next at-bat. Dakota LeBlanc hit a double to center, moved to second on a passed ball, stole third, and ended up also scoring.
Wells pitched the five-inning shutout for the Trojans, allowing four hits, no walks, and struck out seven batters in the win.
