UPIKE Softball breaks out of hibernation with a win

Its softball season again on Feb 20, for UPIKE as they took out their bats after a long break for a doubleheader against Allice Lloyd. Star player Megan Claypoole went a combined 4-for-5 at the plate with four RBIs and three runs scored while also drawing a pair of walks. In the run-rule shortened 17-0 win, Claypoole struck out eight batters while not allowing a hit. A single wild pitch was the only mistake on the day. Both games in this doubleheader were won by a blowout for UPIKE. Hannah Absher joined Claypoole with a home run in game two, adding three more RBIs to her day, Kitty Raymond went 3-for-4 with a double, Kelly added two hits and drew a walk and Haley Osborne roped the game’s only triple on her lone hit. “It was a fun day because we were so ready for this game had hard practices to prepare for this game. I’m glad we came out with our first win of the season. There is plenty more to come where that came from,” said Chandler Kelley.
