Troy scored 12 unanswered runs en route to a 17-1 lopsided victory over Wellsboro on Monday, April 3.
Both teams were scoreless in the first inning, but an 8-run 2nd inning by Troy blew the game open and handed the Lady Hornets their 4th consecutive loss to start the season. Troy added 4 more runs in the bottom of the 3rd to lead 12-0 before Wellsboro broke the shutout in the top of the 4th.
Senior Rylie Boyce led off the 4th with a double then scored one at bat later as senior Molly Ingerick hit a grounder to short stop. Boyce scored, and Ingerick reached base, on a throwing error.
Troy, however, would add 5 more runs in the bottom half of the inning, cutting the game short in just four innings.
