The Douglas High softball team Wednesday won its first home game, beating Reed, 11-1, in five innings in a non-league contest behind a two-hit performance in the circle from Talia Tretton.
At the plate, Tretton was 1-for-1 with three walks and a pair of RBIs.
Zora Simpson and Annie Hill each drove in a pair of runs while Haley Wilkinson, Lilyann Lee, Ava Delaney and Mya Roberts each had one RBI.
“I was really pleased offensively,” said Douglas coach John Glover. “I’d like to see our hitters be a little more aggressive than they’re being. We need to improve base running for sure.
“Offensively, we’re struggling. I hate to say that after winning a 10-run game, but we’re not where we need to be offensively.”
Thursday, Douglas took down Spanish Springs in six innings of play by a 10-0 final score.
Lee was 3-for-3 with a three-run home run and five total RBIs in the win.
Wilkinson went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run driven in.
Tretton struck out 12 in the circle while allowing a total of two hits. At the plate, Tretton was 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBIs.
UP NEXT: Douglas (6-3) will open Class 5A North league play Saturday with a doubleheader at Bishop Manogue (3-3).
