The Carmel softball team made a big comeback in the sixth inning Friday against Terre Haute North, and that propelled the Greyhounds to a 10-8 win at Cherry Tree Softball Complex.
The Patriots led 3-0 midway through the third inning. The Greyhounds began the bottom of the inning with a home run by Lily Sullivan. Later, Carmel hit three consecutive doubles. Kylie Cunningham got the first one, then moved to third base when Megan Nichols hit a double. Sophie Esposito then came up and hit her double, scoring Cunningham and Nichols, and tying the game.
Two home runs put Terre Haute North ahead 7-3 in the fourth inning. The ‘Hounds got a run back in the fifth when Nichols hit another double, then scored after Esposito reached on error.
Carmel took control in the sixth inning by scoring six runs. The Greyhounds went on another double spree in the inning, starting with Cunningham’s left field double to score Ella Ohrvall.
Nichols cracked her third double of the day to send Cunningham home. Esposito doubled in Nichols, then would score herself. Caroline Roop hit yet another double, the fourth straight for the ‘Hounds.
That brought up Audrey Hussain, and she hit – a home run. Hussain’s center field homer scored her and Roop and put Carmel up 10-7. The Patriots scored a run in the top of the seventh, but Nichols caught a flyout to clinch the win.
Nichols had a perfect day at the plate, going 4-for-4. Cunningham was 3-for-4. Emmy Brown pitched three and two-thirds innings in relief for the win.
