Crawfordsville
High School sophomore Chelsea Day gave the Athenians quite a lift.
After
throwing a no-hitter last week, the Athenians’ pitcher prominently displayed her
power Monday night.
Her home run blast kept Crawfordsville’s record
perfect – and pushed the Athenians to their 11th-straight win.
Day’s
two-run home run in the second inning helped the Athenians to a 5-2 victory over
visiting Turkey Run.
She hit the home run to straight-away centerfield
and finished with two RBI and two runs scored. Day also earned the win, moving
her record to 5-0.
Crawfordsville coach Brian Norris said the home run
ignited the Athenians. One batter later, junior Elizabeth Zachary crushed a
line-drive double over the centerfielders’ head. The Athenians (11-0) also
capitalized off five Warriors’ errors.
“With those two or three pitches
right there, we hit both balls really hard. It helped us get going a little
bit,” Norris said.
Crawfordsville plays at 6:30 p.m. today at Sagamore
Athletic Conference rival Lebanon.
Norris hopes the Athenians can
improve their hitting – they only had five hits, including two by sophomore
Marissa French, Monday night.
He’s not disappointed, he just thinks it
could be better.
“We have to get back to base hits and RBI,” he said.
“It makes things a lot easier |
