There were no surprises Monday evening when the Class 6A Crestview softball team hosted 1A opponent Paxton.
As one might expect, the Lady Bulldogs dominated in every aspect of the game. And is almost always the case, the dominant team won.
Lady Bulldog pitcher Julian Forrest held Paxton to one hit and one unearned run as Crestview rolled to a 14-1 in five innings.
Forrest and the Lady Bulldogs were denied a shutout when the umpiring crew failed all interference on a Paxton runner going into second base when it seemed obvious that runner did not give herself up and allow the Crestview defense to make the play.
The only thing the run accomplished was it kept Paxton from being shutout.
“The sticks got going pretty good tonight,” Crestview coach John Toulan said. “Jules pitched a good game, and we got off to a good start for the week.
“I’d like to build some momentum going into the district tournament next week.”
A two-out rally by the Lady Bulldogs in the bottom of the first inning gave Crestview a lead that was never challenged.
Mayson Feller and Forrest drew back-to-back walks to start things off. Cambell Toulan followed Forrest and walked. Freshman Riley Copeland emptied the bases with a triple.
Ava Secor, a freshman, drew a two-out walk and scored as Feller reached on a base hit.
Crestview scored three runs in the third inning and seven in the fourth to close out the win.
Forrest, Copeland and Irie Wolfgramm scored in the third inning.
Feller, Forrest, Copeland, Wolfgramm, Paige Dietz, Bella Gibbons and Secor all scored for Crestview in the fourth as the Lady Bulldogs took the impressive win.
