The Noblesville softball team won an all-county game with Fishers on Tuesday, 6-4 in a Hoosier Crossroads Conference game at the Millers’ field.
Both teams scored one run in the first inning. The Tigers went first; Olivia Latimer led off with a single, advanced to third base on wild pitches, then scored on Kaylee Kardash’s RBI groundout.
Noblesville got the run back in the bottom of the first. Reis Sjoholm got on base with a bunt single, advanced to third on a groundout, then went home when Ella White hit a sacrifice fly.
The Millers took control in the third inning. Myah Stuckey hit a bunt single, stole second, then scored when Abby Harvey reached on error. That brought White up, and she blasted a home run into center field. That gave Noblesville a 4-1 lead.
“We found the ball, better than we have today,” said Millers coach Deke Bullard. “We put the ball in play and forced them to play some defense and had convenient-timing bunts and also deep fly balls with the runners on, and they were able to move those runners in.”
In the fourth inning, Cameron Grayson batted in Kira Thomas with a center field single, putting the Millers up 5-1. Fishers got that run back immediately, as Sydney Abel led off the fifth with a solo home run.
Noblesville scored again in the sixth inning, with Taylor Thompson hitting a sacrifice bunt to send Bella Schatko home. Fishers made one last push in the seventh inning, as Kardash brought in two runs (Latimer and Karyn Trice) with a two-out right field hit. Sjoholm caught a fly ball for the third out.
Grayson had two hits for the Millers and also got the pitching win, throwing a complete game with six strikeouts.
Latimer was 3-for-4 at the plate for the Tigers, with Trice hitting a double. Hannah Mays also went the distance, striking out six.
“We talked about making routine plays on defense,” said Fishers coach Daren James. “I didn’t think we did that. I think we gave them too many runs. I liked their fight at the plate there at the end of the game. I thought we battled pretty well all day. Just didn’t make enough defensive plays.”
Noblesville is 1-1 in conference play and 2-2 overall. The Millers play at Carmel this afternoon. This was Fishers’ first HCC game of the season; the Tigers are 2-3 overall and host Greenfield-Central on Thursday.
In a Monday game, Noblesville beat Greenfield-Central 13-3 in six innings.
Gabby Fowler batted in the Millers’ first run in the first inning, then smacked a three-run home run in the third to put Noblesville up 4-0. Lauren DeRolf later scored on an error. In the fourth inning, Harvey doubled in a run.
The Millers poured in five runs in the fifth inning. Fowler scored the inning’s first run after getting on base with a double, then Myah Stuckey and Sjoholm drew back-to-back bases-loaded walks. Harvey then hit a two-RBI single to put Noblesville up 11-3, and the Millers ended the game in the sixth inning when Taylor Thompson hit a two-run homer.
Harvey and Fowler both were 3-for-4 at the plate, with Fowler driving in four runs and Harvey batting in three. Sjoholm, Harvey, Fowler, DeRolf, Grayson and Thompson all scored two runs, with Stuckey scoring one. Grayson pitched four innings for the win, striking out five, with Thomas getting the save.
