Huskies score early and often for road win at Lawrence Central

The REPORTER

The Hamilton Heights softball team went on the road Friday night to face the Lawrence Central Bears and came home with a three-game winning streak and a 10-4 win.

Hailey Hall singled to lead off the game. Taya Trosper laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Hall to second. Hall scored with ease when Heather Crays tripled to go up 1-0.

Kamryn Rhoton drove in Crays with a base hit to right for a 2-0 score. Lily Cash doubled the score with a two-run home run to left, giving Hamilton Heights a 4-0 lead.

Lawrence Central cut the lead to 4-2 in the bottom of the first on a single and a bases-loaded walk.

Rhoton drove in another two runs with a home run to left and it was 6-2 in the second. This is Kamryn’s fourth long ball of the season.

Rhoton then put a ground ball into left field to score Trosper, moving it to 7-2. McKenzie Jackson doubled to center to plate another couple, extending it to 9-2. Isabel Morrow got the Huskies to double digits on a double to right to go up 10-2.

Crays gave up a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth to the Bears, but that would be all that Heights would yield.

Hamilton Heights (8-4) has won three in a row and five of their last six and hosts Yorktown on Monday at 5:30.
