Wilmington scores 11 runs in sweep of Jefferson

Wilmington gets the scoring started in the second inning

The scoreboard sat in silence in the first inning, as the two starting pitchers made easy work of their opponent’s batters.

In the top of the second inning, the Wilmington bats would start to make some noise as they would push in the first two runs of the game.

The inning started with Lauren Lopez hitting a single to center field. Two plays later, Sara Miller would reach first base by a fielding error from Jefferson’s shortstop. The error also let Lopez advance to third base. In the next play, Kiersten Comer would ground out to the first base, but another fielding error by the Rams would allow Lopez and Miller to score to give WilmU a 2-0 lead.
