Grundy
swept a doubleheader from Twin Valley, 14-1 and 4-0, in
non-district action Thursday evening at the Encoh’s Branch
softball field.
A six-run first inning set the tone for the
Lady Wave in the first game.
Grundy sent 12 batters to the plate in the
inning. Leadoff hitter Sarah Ratliff started the rally with a
triple and scored on an RBI single up the middle by Sara Davis.
Terri Stacy and Kayla Viers also had RBI hits in the opening frame
for the Lady Wave.
Amber Foster picked up both mounds wins for
Grundy (3-4). The junior tossed a one-hitter and struck out eight
in the opener.
Twin Valley got its only run of game one in
the second inning when Kristie Gilbert walked, advanced to third
on a pair of wild pitches, and scored on a wild pitch after a walk
to Rachel Vandyke.
The Lady Panthers only hit came
in the first when Kersten Surrett singled. But she was retired on
a fine defensive play by Grundy second sacker Sara Davis, who
snagged Kim Street’s grounder, tagged Surrett and threw on to
first to complete a double play.
Grundy sent 11 batters to the plate
and came away with six more runs in the second. Lady Wave Catcher
Amy Crouse opened the rally with a walk, then got an
RBI on a bases-loaded walk later in the inning.
In the inning, Stacy singled and Molly Doud
laid down a perfect suicide squeeze bunt for Grundy.
The Lady Wave added two runs in the
fourth inning. Foster had an RBI single and Tasha McGlothlin
picked up an RBI when she was hit by a pitch with the bases
loaded.
Crouse finished the contest
with three walks.
Foster, Ratliff and Stacy each
had two hits.
