Emma Humplik drew a walk and Alyssa Dodd reached on an error, which set up a two-run double by Tiffany Ciancaglione.

Codie Sorge reached on an error and Heather Mineer, who was 3-for-3 with five runs batted in, drove in a run with a RBI single to right. The Lady Bobcats then scored on back-to-back errors to make it 6-0.

Stanfield and Grant both drew bases-loaded walks to score a run apiece and Humplik brought in another run with a sacrifice fly. Alyssa Dodd then roped a RBI double to center and Mineer made it 12-0 with a two-run single to center.

Orangefield struck for seven more runs in the bottom of the second.

Stanfield walked and Grant singled to right and Alyssa Dodd was hit by a pitch. Ciancaglione drew a bases-loaded walk and Sorge was hit by a pitch with the bases juiced as two more runs came in.

Mineer made it 16-0 with a two-run deep double to right. Alayna Dodd drove in a run with a fielder’s choice grounder. Mineer would score on a wild pitch and Grant capped the Lady Bobcat scoring with a RBI double to left.

Sorge went all three innings on the hill for the Lady Bobcats, allowing four hits while striking out six and walking three.

The Lady Bucs scored in the top of the third. Karly Barron, who was 2-for-2, had a single to right and after Harley Collier drew a one-out walk, Leah Smith hit a grounder and a misfire to first allowed Barron to race in and score.

The Lady Bobcats will look for win No. 20 on the road Friday when they visit the Warren Lady Warriors.
