Thunder 18U Team Starts Strong at N.H. Tournament
LONDONDERRY, N.H. -- Olivia Perry went 2-for-2 with a home run and three RBIs Saturday to lead the Greylock Thunder 18U travel softball team to a 10-5 win over the Mass Drifters at the New England Fusion College Showcase.
Izabela Tart was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, and Paxton Ebling tripled in a 12-hit attack for the Thunder.
Perry also struck out three in three innings of work in the circle before being relieved by Emma Lemire, who finished off the five-inning win.
The Thunder had a tougher matchup in their second game of pool play but prevailed, 2-0, against the Vermont Storm 16U.
Marlee Arnhold was the difference in that win, striking out four, walking one and scattering four hits in a complete-game, seven-inning shutout.
Mariah Barnes singled and drove in a run, and Kaleigh Jaros singled and scored a run for the Thunder, who made the most of their two hits.
Greylock continues pool play on Saturday at 8 a.m. against the Connecticut Lightning.
