Big Sandy softball now sits in first place in District 25-2A after defeating West Hardin 12-4 Tuesday in Dallardsville.
The contest did not start the way Big Sandy desired, as the visiting Lady Oilers scored three runs in the top of the first, all with two outs.
However, the Lady Cats answered with two in the bottom half of the inning, as Jennifer Ware singled in Paige Cox, and Kaylani Stephenson did the same for Paige Cain.
The home team would take a 4-3 lead when Skyler Wick drove in two runs on a double in the bottom of the fourth.
The Lady Cats continued to pour on the runs in the next inning. Tairia Robinson drove in a run and would advance all the way home on an error. With the bases loaded, Cain drove in three on a double.
The sixth inning was more of the same. Izzy Robinson, Cox and Cain each had base hits that produced runs. In all, Big Sandy went on a 12-0 run before giving up one in the top of the seventh.
