BUFFALO — Even without the services of seniors Lindsey Godderz and Anna Hermreck, who missed Monday’s doubleheader because of a schedule conflict, Crest High’s softball team kept up its dazzling early-season play.
The Lady Lancers picked up a pair of wins over Altoona-Midway, 19-2 and 22-5, winning both in games cut short to three innings via run-rule.
“I’m proud of how the rest of the team stepped up and took care of business,” Crest head coach Casey Cook said.
In the opener, Crest broke open the game with three in the first, five in the second and 11 in the third.
Sydney Stephens paced the Lady Lancer offense with two doubles and a single, while Kayla Hermreck two singles and a double. Vivian Noah doubled twice; McKenna Hammond had a single and double and Lili Blaufuss and Brooklynn Jones each singled twice.
The fun continued in the nightcap, with Crest scoring 15 runs in the top of the first, six more in the second and one in the third.
Stephens went 4-for-4 with two singles, a double and a triple. Kayla Hermreck followed with a single and double. Earning two singles apiece were Jones, Hammond, Blaufuss and Andie Burnett. Adams, Kaylee Allen and Lonna Ayers each had a single.
