Softball Recap: Creekside Seminoles vs. Drew
Creekside waltzed into their contest on Monday with four straight wins... but they left with five. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Drew a 16-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Seminoles, who have now won 12 games by eight runs or more so far this season.
Dallas Hill made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Hill was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with a home run and two runs.
In other batting news, Creekside got a big performance out of Deja Wesley, who scored a run and stole three bases. Another player making a difference was Dazire Randle Randle, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in both of her plate appearances.
