FREMONT – The Ross softball team’s winning ways continued Wednesday in an 18-0 five-inning win over Toledo Woodward. The Lady Giants were vastly superior to the Polar Bears, as Ross twice ended innings despite Woodward not yet getting three outs.
The Lady Giants viewed Wednesday’s game to fine-tune details, such as eliminating base-running mistakes.
Ross did that and more. The Lady Giants totaled 10 hits and nine walks while Woodward committed nine errors. The Lady Giants stopped advancing extra bases by the end of the second inning and eased off on the scoreboard.
In her only two at-bats on the day, senior Hailey Taylor hit a two-RBI double each time to continue her week-long hot streak at the plate. In her last four games, Taylor is 10-of-13 with four doubles, a triple and seven RBIs.
The Lady Giants used a trio of pitchers, Morgan Englund, Audrianna Melchor and Addison Burmeister who combined to allow Woodward two walks and no hits with eight strikeouts in five innings.
