The Sevastopol Pioneers softball team slugged five home runs in a 11-1 win over Reedsville on Thursday.
The Pioneers scored at least two runs in each of the first four innings with a Kayla Bubolz home run in the third inning the lone sign of resistance the Panthers put up against their hosts. Naomi Rikkola hit her first of three home runs in the first inning to bring home Kayla Ranly and Lexi Schopf. Rikkola repeated that feat under the same circumstances in the second inning, driving in Ranly and Schopf to make it 6-0. After tacking on two more runs in the third inning, Rikkola's solo shot in the fourth inning was followed up by a home run from Addison Schauske to make it 10-1. Schopf called game in the bottom of the fifth inning when she homered to reach the mercy rule threshold.
Schopf earned the win with one inning pitched, scattering one hit and striking out one. Schauske cleaned things up, pitching the final four innings. She allowed one run (1 ER) and two hits while striking out nine.
