For the Hamilton Heights softball team, wins just keep coming and the Huskies seem to do it with ease.

In their last four games, the Huskies have outscored Sheridan, Bishop Chatard and Tipton by a combined 64-9. Wednesday night was their second straight shutout with a 15-0 dominating win at Tipton.

Scoring early and often, Heights belted 12 hits.

They scored in the first on a wild pitch. Four more came home in the second on two doubles, an error and a ground out.

Three more touched home in the third and five in the fourth, led by a pair of doubles from Lily Cash and Kaitlyn Schakel,

Two more in the top of the fifth helped put the exclamation point on their fourth straight victory. Kamryn Rhoton doubled and was driven home on Ellie Engle’s home run.

Cash went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBIs. Engle scored twice and drove in two with her long ball. Taya Trosper also had two hits and scored two times, while Melanee Forrester had two hits for the second night in a row.
