Feet stomp Lady Broncos
The Lady Broncos ran into a buzzsaw Tuesday afternoon, when the undefeated Webb Lady Feet came calling at the Boyd softball field.
Taking an early lead, the Feet never looked back, and blew the game open in the third inning before ending it in the fourth, taking home a 25-0 blowout victory.
Webb, which improved its perfect early-season record to 5-0, plated four runs in the first, batting around and taking advantage of four hits and a walk.
The Feet scored two more runs in the top of the second. Elizabeth Windham’s fly ball to left was dropped, scoring Sarah Jennings, who had singled. Windham then came home on a wild pitch for a 6-0 Webb lead.
Monica Patel bunted her way aboard in the bottom of the second for what would prove to be Boyd’s only hit, but she was caught stealing second and Kris Surles grounded out to end the inning.
Webb came back up in the third, and sent 15 batters to the plate, scoring six runs before recording their first out of the frame and going up 15-0 before the end of the inning.
Boyd went down in order in the bottom of the third, and the Webb hit parade started up once again, as the Feet scored 10 more runs to put the game away. The fourth-inning barrage included a bases-loaded triple from Grace Iorio, as well as a two-run error on a dropped fly ball in center field. Five Lady Feet drew walks, and Webb added seven hits during the 16-batter inning.
Pitcher Christine Klisavage retired Boyd in order in the bottom of the fourth, ending the game via the mercy rule.
Courtney Hard took the loss for Boyd, pitching 2-1/3 innings before being relieved by Kelsey Hall.
The Lady Broncos are scheduled to return to action today, with a 4:30 doubleheader at Upperman.
