Lady Pirates dominate in recent action

Lady Pirates power past Beggs with 14-hit performance

The Preston Lady Pirates continued their dominant season with a 12-2 win over the Beggs Lady Demons on Saturday, sparked by a 14-hit offensive explosion and a standout performance from Kynlee Martin, who went 3-for-3 at the plate.

Preston wasted no time, putting up runs in each of the first three innings. Kristin Holuby opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning. The Lady Pirates exploded for six runs in the second, highlighted by an RBI double from Taylan Starr and a two-RBI triple by Olivia Beaver.

Josie Cope earned the win in the circle, throwing 2.1 scoreless innings and allowing just one hit while striking out three. Preston racked up 14 hits in total, with Ashleigh Hurt, Holuby, and Brooklyn Gertner each adding multiple base knocks.
