The Trenton Lady Bulldog softball team cruised to a 17-0 win at Polo on Tuesday night, with junior Ainsley Tolson firing a two-hit shutout, while the potent THS offense received home runs from Maci Moore and Sydney Lynch in a dominant four-inning performance.
The win improves Trenton to 9-1 overall and 5-0 in the Grand River Conference East, with remaining conference games at Milan (Thursday at 5:30) and Putnam County (Tuesday, 9/12 at 5:30 on Hot Country Z 101.7). Â In addition to Tolson’s pitching prowess, Ainsley ignited the Bulldog offense out of the leadoff spot, with a double and triple as part of a 3-for-3, three run night. Â Mykah Hurley scored three times for Trenton, walking twice and getting a base hit in four at-bats. Â Ashten Whitaker had a pair of hits, including a double, in three at-bats, Lynch had three RBI’s and scored four runs, while Moore had three runs scored, three hits, and three RBI’s for the Bulldogs.
The defeat drops Polo to 1-2 in conference play, with a makeup date with the Gallatin Lady Bulldogs coming up tonight (Wednesday night) at 5:30, followed by a visit from the Princeton Lady Tigers on Thursday.
The THS JV moved to 6-0 on Tuesday night, defeating the Polo Lady Panthers 7-0 in four innings.Â
THS was led by Sara Spencer who went two-for-two with a double and walk, with three RBIs for the Bulldogs. McKayla Blackburn went one-for-two with a walk and an RBI, and Jaycie Griffin also logged a hit for THS going one-for-two with two runs scored.Â
In the circle, Blackburn went four innings for Trenton, giving up no runs on two hits, while striking out a career high ten batters.Â
Elsewhere in the GRC on Tuesday night, Maysville flexed its muscles in a 14-4 road win at Gallatin, scoring seven runs in the first two innings to take the lead, and putting the game away with 7 more runs over the game’s final two innings. Â South Harrison rallied from a 9-1 hole in a game in Bethany against the Milan Lady Wildcats, overtaking MHS in the final inning for a dramatic 11-9 win. Â The Lady Bulldogs picked up their second victory in conference play this fall. Â After falling to Putnam County on Monday night, the Princeton Lady Tigers had the night off, along with the Lady Midgets.
Putnam County and Trenton are both 5-0 in GRC East play. Â The Trenton at Putnam County game on Tuesday, September 12th could very well decide the divisional championship, although Putnam County will have a GRC East game with Maysville on Monday, September 18th, with Trenton playing at Milan this Thursday night. Â The GRC East champion will host the GRC West champion in the second-ever GRC softball championship game on Thursday, September 21st.
The Stanberry Lady Bulldogs, defending champion in the GRC West, moved to 4-0 in conference play this fall, hammering North Andrew on Tuesday night 12-2. Â King City rolled to an 11-1 win over the Pattonsburg Lady Panthers. Â Worth County got into the win column, downing Albany by a final of 13-7.
