The Lady Trojans wasted no time jumping out to a 12-0 lead in the top of the first inning as Charles Henderson’s bats came alive. Greenville cut the lead to 12-5 in the bottom of the first but the Lady Trojans scored two more runs in the second inning and then sealed the win with six runs in the top of the fourth inning before the game was called.

CHHS earned 18 hits in 34 at bats and also three Lady Trojans got on base due to a walk or hit by pitch. Heather Maxwell and Olivia Kirkpatrick were both stellar at the plate for Charles Henderson. Maxwell went 4-for-5 with two RBIs and four runs, while Kirkpatrick went 4-for-4 with an RBI and three runs. Kirkpatrick also earned a double.
