Picking up their fourth win in their last five games and moving to 6-4 overall, the Lady Panther softball team completed a two-game sweep of Monmouth-Roseville with an 11-1 road victory on Thursday.
A two-out, two run double by Jai Oleson got the Panthers started as they took a 2-0 lead after one.

An error and a second triple by Paezleigh Hudgin pushed the Panther advantage to 8-0 with Hudgin completing the scoring in the inning with a steal of home to make it 9-0 after three innings.
With starting pitcher Aylah Jones cruising along allowing no runs and no hits through four innings, the Panthers added to their lead with consecutive RBI singles by Hudgin and Jaylynn Hamilton increasing the Panther advantage to 11-0.
The Lady Titans broke into the scoring column in the fifth following a single and a two base error leading to a run on a fielder’s choice, but also ending the game with the Panthers leading by 10 at the end of five innings.
Aylah Jones was once again dominant in the circle pitching five innings allowing 2 hits, 1 run, (0 earned) 2 walks, and striking out 10.
Cydney Davis had a big day at the plate collecting a double and a triple, driving in 3 and scoring twice. Jaylynn Hamilton and Aylah Jones each had three knocks with Hamilton picking up an RBI. Paezleigh Hudgin had 2 hits including a triple and drove in 2.
