Finding barrels has not been a problem for the Todd County Central Lady Rebels five games into the 2025 softball season.
Todd Central rapped out 11 hits – five of them doubles – as they handed Hopkins County Central an 11-2 defeat on Tuesday in Mortons Gap.
The Lady Rebels came into the contest batting .388 as a team and scoring 13 runs a game. That success carried over to Tuesday as they sent 11 batters to the plate in the first inning and scored seven times.
Addison Woodall singled twice in the inning with her second at bat, clearing the bases and scoring three Lady Rebels.
Olivia Weikel doubled home a run in the first as Todd Central also took advantage of two Lady Storm errors and three walks.
Hopkins Central got a run back in the home half of the first when Ava McCord walked, advanced to second base when Julia Harris was hit by a pitch, and came home to score on an Emily Ballard single to right.
Gracee Miller added a run-scoring single in the second inning, and Naomi Welborn doubled home Todd’s 11th run in the third inning.
Todd’s offense backed the pitching of Woodall, who improved to 2-0 by allowing one run in four innings with seven strikeouts and three walks. Olivia Weikel chipped in with a scoreless inning of relief.
Woodall finished with three hits and two RBI, while Dakotah Gammon added two doubles to the fence and two RBI. Weikel and Miller also drove in a pair of runs, with Welborn and Miller adding two hits each to the stat sheet for the Lady Rebels.
Julia Harris’ double was one of three hits for Hopkins County Central, which has dropped seven straight games to the Lady Rebels.
Todd Central improved to 4-1 and is scheduled to play three games in Clarksville on Friday and Saturday.
Hopkins County Central (2-11) is scheduled to play at Webster County on Thursday before a home game with Logan County on Monday.
