The Noblesville softball team celebrated a milestone while winning two games at its own Miller Invitational on Saturday.
Noblesville took care of New Castle 16-6 in five innings, then beat Plainfield 11-1 in six innings. With the victories, Millers coach Deke Bullard reached the 100-win mark at Noblesville.
In the Millers’ first game, the Trojans hit a home run in the top of the first inning, but the Millers responded with five runs in the bottom of the inning. Gabby Fowler batted in the first run, Taylor Thompson hit a two-run double, then scored on an error. Kinsey Pfeiffer finished the inning with a center field homer.
Noblesville rolled in three more runs in the third inning, then put up seven more runs in the fourth. Fowler tripled in a run, then was scored by a Scout Duplaga double. Bella Schatko later hit a three-run double. Duplaga would finish the game in the fifth inning, as her lead-off home run got the Millers’ lead to 10 runs.
Thompson was 3-for-3 at the plate, scoring three runs and driving in another three. Schatko finished with two doubles among her three hits. Lulu Van Beek got the pitching win.
Noblesville also got off to a fast start against the Quakers, scoring six runs in the first inning. Lauren DeRolf led off with a triple, and was soon scored by Duplaga’s base hit. Erin Clark hit a two-RBI single and Reis Sjoholm batted in a run. The Millers batted around, so DeRolf came up again during the inning and nailed a two-run single.
Kinsey Pfeiffer smacked a two-run homer in the second inning, then Aidan Gates batted in a run. DeRolf had three hits and drove in three runs, while Clark scored three runs. Emme Yee pitched a complete game for the win.
Noblesville is 9-7 and hosts Mount Vernon Monday.
