Softball team slugging the ball around the park

There have been no shortage of hits and runs for the Trenton softball team so far this young season.

The Trojans, who broke from the gate with a 4-1 record, averaged nearly 15 runs per game in their first five outings.

Only New Boston Huron was able to hand the Trojans a loss, and even in that game, Trenton pounded out 11 runs on 17 hits. Unfortunately for Trenton, Huron managed 14 runs on 23 hits.

Kendyl Gearhart had four hits in the Huron game and Gracie Rickman, Maddie Dobbs, London Williams, Molly Edmunds, Aleah Tanguay and Analy Guth had two hits each.

In the closest game the Trojans have played this year, Trenton doubled up Calrson, winning 6-3. Edmunds led the way as she had two of Trenton’s six hits and drove in three runs. Annika Segedi also had two hits and Hannah Fiejoo, who watched her team make several great defensive plays behind her, was the complete-game winning pitcher.

In their other three games so far, Trenton beat Monroe St, Mary Catholic Central 14-2, Wyandotte 22-7 and Taylor 21-4.

Against SMCC, the Trojans opened the season with a 14-hit, 14-run outburst against the kestrels. Segedi was 3-for-4, including an inside-the-park home run and freshman Lexi Klonica hit a three-run home run over the left field fence.

Rickman, Gearhart and Williams each had two hits.

Feijoo, Bri Thomas and Amber Duffy all pitched for the Trojans and they allowed only a combined five hits.

In the win over Wyandotte, the offense was even more explosive, scoring 22 times on 22 hits. Edmunds led the offense with a 4-for-4 afternoon. Segedi and Williams each had three hits and Rickman, Tanguay, Dobbs, Gearhart and Guth had two each

The offensive fun continued on April 18 as the Trojans lit up the Taylor Griffins.

On a cold and windy afternoon, Trojans smacked 17 hits, scored 21 times and ended the game after three innings because of the mercy rule.

Klonica drove in three runs with her three hits and Dobbs and Guth also each had three RBI. The ball was flying at Biedenbach Field and two Tropjans took advantage as Edmunds and Guth each hit home runs over the leftfield fence.

Dobbs, Edmunds, Gearhart, Rickman and Tanguay all had two hits in the Trenton rout.
