CHEROKEE — The poor scorekeeper at Southeast High School may have needed a shower after Monday.

Crest High’s Lady Lancers scored a mind-boggling 47 runs in a doubleheader sweep over visiting Southeast-Cherokee, winning by scores of 17-2 and 30-16.

Crest controlled things from the outset in Game 1, scoring nine runs in the first, four in the second and six in the third. Crest batters worked Southeast pitchers for 10 walks and took advantage of three errors and three hit batters.

Godderz aided her own cause with a single and double. Kayla Hermreck singled twice. Meanwhile starting pitcher Lindsay Godderz allowed two hits in her three innings of work with a pair of strikeouts.

Aubrey Holloran and Allyssa Adams both had triples. Sydney Stephens delivered a single.

PERHAPS the most noteworthy thing about Crest’s outburst in the nightcap was that the team racked up a grand total of eight hits. Godderz had a single and triple. Holloran, Kayla Hermreck, Stephens, Adams, Andie Burnett and Vivian Noah all had singles.

Crest scored six in the first, eight in the second, six in the third and 10 in the fourth.

Godderz and reliever Holloran struggled at times with their command, combining to issue 13 walks. Godderz allowed a hit in her one-plus inning of work, while Hollorand surrendered eight hits over three innings.

Crest is at Pleasanton Thursday.
