MOUND CITY — A few little mistakes turned into big trouble for Crest High’s softball team Thursday.
The Lady Lancers were down 1-0 in the third inning, when host Jayhawk-Linn scored three in the third and five in the fourth to take control of a 10-0 victory.
“The same thing happened in the second game,” Crest head coach Casey Cook said. “It just happened sooner.”
The Jayhawks scored nine in the first and didn’t look back in a 15-0 victory.
“I was proud of our defense,” Cook said. “Aubree Holloran did a good job pitching. A couple mistakes turned into a lot of runs for them.”
Holloran surrendered eight hits in the opener.
She had a pair of singles. Kayla Hermreck also had a single in the contest.
Godderz pitched in Game 2, but struggled finding the strike zone, Cook said.
Brooklyn Jones came on in relief.
“I’m proud of my younger girls stepping up and filling spots when needed,” Cook said.
Holloran and Lindsay Godderz both had singles in the contest.
Crest is back in action Thursday at home against Marmaton Valley.
