Softball: Burgin sweeps two games in Bardstown tournament

April 20, 2008

The Burgin softball team scored 10 runs and swept two games Saturday at the Bethlehem Round Robin in Bardstown.

In a 5-2 win against Bethlehem, Tiffany Shewmaker and Hannah Harley each went 2-for-3 and Elizabeth Harlow doubled.

"We were not satisfied with where we were at in the win-loss column and decided after a good Wednesday practice that it was a new season," Burgin coach Matt Grimes said. "I am very pleased with how we performed at the plate and with our desire to not give up."

Nikki Bugg singled and struck out six, walked four and allowed no earned runs as Burgin (4-8) won its third straight game.

Down 2-0, Burgin got three runs in the fourth and two more in the sixth inning.

In the first game, Burgin scored five runs in the second inning and went on for the 5-2 win over Whitefield Academy.

Paisley Carey worked five innings, giving up one hit and two runs with four strikeouts and no walks. Bugg had four strikeouts with a walk in her two innings of work.

Halee Jackson was 2-for-3 hitting, and Carey, Shelby Lilly, Sarah Harlet and Harley all had hits.
