Runs are coming in bunches for the Tallassee softball team after picking up a 14-4 win over Sylacauga on Monday.
This is the third consecutive game where the Tigers have crossed the 10-run threshold in their three-game win streak. Against the Aggies, they accumulated 10 hits with Cheyann Easterling, Marlee Osborne, Regan Easterwood and Olivia Hammonds all racking up two hits a piece. One of Hammond's hits was sent deep right field in the bottom of the fourth for a home run.
Kam Tate and Osborne took duties in the circle where each racked up strikeouts. Tate led off the game where she manned the circle for two innings — picking up two strikeouts but walked seven batters. Osborne came in for the last three innings, during which she logged four strikeouts and two walks.
Tallassee will look to make it four straight against Prattville Christian Academy.
