The Southeast of Saline softball team kept the good times rolling on Monday, tossing a pair of shutouts to sweep Sacred Heart 11-0 and 14-0.
Game One: SE of Saline 11, Sacred Heart 0
Southeast wasted no time getting on the board in game one, striking for three runs in the top of the first, and following that with another in the second, five more in the third, and a pair in the fifth to force the mercy rule.
At the plate, the Lady Trojans shared the wealth once again, with eight different players recording a hit and five different players driving in at least a run.
Abby Wyatt continues to swing one of the hottest bats in the state of Kansas, turning in another 4-4 performance with two more driven in.
Kyiah Samelson was an RBI machine in the opener, bringing four runs across on two hits and scoring two times as well.
In the circle, Karlee Zurfluh dominated, allowing just one hit in five scoreless innings while recording eight strikeouts and issuing no walks.
Game Two: SE of Saline 14, Sacred Heart 0
SES picked up right where they left off in the nightcap, taking a 2-0 lead into the second, but the Knights actually managed to silence the Southeast bats through the second and third.
That momentum would not hold, however, and in both the fourth and fifth innings, SES rattled off six unanswered runs to once again end the game early.
The Lady Trojan lineup somehow managed to one-up itself with nine different players recording a hit in game two and seven driving in a run.
While everyone contributed, Kimber Ogorzolka was the star of the show in the nightcap, cashing in a 3-3 performance at the plate, highlighted by four RBI.
Avery Kinkelaar looked borderline unhittable in the circle, completing the second complete game shutout of the day and allowing just one hit and three walks to five strikeouts.
With these results, the Lady Trojans improve to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in league play, while the Lady Knights slide to 1-7 and 1-5 respectively.
SES will be on the road this Thursday to take on the white hot 8-0 Lady Irish of Chapman, while Sacred Heart returns to Salina to face Republic County.
