After going AWOL on timely hits last Friday, Nisqually 1A league leading Seattle Christian teed off early en route to 17 hits and a 15-1 non league softball victory at fourth-place Seamount League 2A Lindbergh (Renton) on Mon., May 4, to improve its overall record to 11-2.

Led by senior right fielder Taelor Willhoite's 3-for-3 game batting, including three RBI and two runs scored, the Warriors launched balls all over the field to post a six-run strike in the first inning.

Very little let up ensued as Seattle Christian punched home two additional runs in the second as a prelude to four more runs in the third inning as SCS stormed to a 12-0 dominance.

For the home standing Eagles, Chelsey Guhlke scored their only run in the fourth inning to make the score 15-1 after the Warriors had sent more hits into orbit in a top of the fourth outburst of three runs.

Following a scoreless top of the fifth, tall right hander Alyssa Baucom closed out her five-inning two-hitter on a scoreless bottom of the fifth to force closure by way of the 10-run mercy rule. Baucom struck out five batters while issuing no walks and was also a terror at the plate by hitting 4-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI plus three runs scored.

It was also an outstanding day at the plate for two other Warrior hitters.

Carlee Ronish hit 2-for-2 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored as Lisa Kumasaka notched two hits in four at bats to produce an RBI and score three runs.

Lenae Mays and Guhlke each batted 1-for-2 to pace Lindbergh.
