Baylor softball coach Kelli Smith said her team has been hitting really well since an April 12 game in which the Lady Red Raiders were limited to two hits and an unearned run in a loss to Division II-AA East/Middle rival GPS.
On Saturday at The Summit of Softball complex in the Gold final of East Hamilton’s Choo Choo tournament, the Lady Raiders showed GPS just how well they can hit it.
Baylor pounded out 16 hits in the championship game and defeated the Bruisers 12-5.
In the Silver final, Mt. Juliet came from two runs down against East Hamilton and pushed across a run in the bottom of the sixth and final inning to edge the Lady Hurricanes 4-3.
Baylor was the visitor in its final and wasted little time getting its offense going. Leadoff batter Cheyenne Lindsey grounded a single through the left side and Abby McNamara followed with a bunt single. A.J. Johnson’s double made it 2-0.
