Lady Panthers batter Willows

The Maxwell High softball team wasted little time at home Tuesday, scoring five runs in the first inning of an 8-4 triumph over the Honkers.

Andi Robledo went 3-for-3 at the plate for the Panthers, and Kyle Word tripled and drove in two. Maddie Dunlap and Nikole Burg both banged out a pair of hits, with Dunlap knocking in two, and Robledo and Laura Wells each toed the plate for a pair of runs scored.

Allison Costa earned the pitching win, holding the Honkers to just five hits in a complete game win. She struck out five, issued four free passes and hit two batters.

Meghan Hughes doubled and tripled for Willows, with Ashley Love also delivering a two-bagger.

The Panthers took a 3-2 record into action in this weekend's Liberty Tournament.

Maxwell stays very active next week, hosting Liberty Tuesday, before holding their own tournament over the weekend.
