Pine Forest Eagles Beat Gulf Breeze

February 21, 2013

One night after being no-hit in Milton, the Pine Forest varsity softball team rattled off eight hits to beat visiting Gulf Breeze, 10-2, on Wednesday night.

Senior captain Kellie Payne delivered the big blow, a monstrous two-run homer in the sixth inning that made the score 9-2. Sophomores Tiana Acevedo and Rebecca Rudd each drove in two runs for the Lady Eagles, who improved to 3-3 on the young season.

Junior Janessa Landas (2-1) allowed just one earned run in seven innings. She scattered six hits and two walks while striking out four.

Pine Forest scored four runs in the second inning. Kelley led off with a single, and the Eagles scored twice thanks to back-to-back hit batsmen and back-to-back walks. Brooke Lauter scored on a wild pitch, and two outs later, Rudd stole home to make it 4-0.

The Dolphins chipped away with a run in the fourth and fifth innings before the Eagles added three in the fifth and three in the sixth.

Rudd stole five bases, scored twice and made two diving catches in center field. Senior Miranda Kelley went 2-for-4, scored twice, drove in a run and stole two bases. Senior Aleecia Ybarra went 1-for-2 with two walks, a run and there stolen bases.
