The pitching staff has been brilliant for Beaufort High’s softball team of late, but the bats came to life to propel the Eagles to a Region 8-3A sweep of rival Battery Creek last week.
The recent trend of dominant pitching continued in Tuesday’s opener, as Kylie Rast spun a one-hitter with 11 strikeouts, allowing one unearned run with two walks and a lone bunt single in the hit column for Creek. The Eagles came up with some timely hits in support of Rast, as Madisyn Miller and Arianna Smith each went 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Rast led the hit parade in Friday’s offensive outburst, going 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs and scoring four runs, and Smith was 4-for-4 with an RBI and scored three times. Adalyn Johnson added a pair of doubles and three RBIs and scored twice, and she piled up 11 strikeouts in a complete game, allowing three walks, six hits, and two earned runs.
The Eagles (8-3, 4-0) have a pair of non-region games on the schedule this week, at home against West Ashley on Wednesday and at Hilton Head High on Friday. The Dolphins (6-5, 2-2) have home games against John Paul II on Thursday and Hanahan on Friday.
