JOHN DAY — The Grant Union softball team made quick work of it April 5 as they earned two 11-1 wins against the Culver Bulldogs.
The Prospectors team won both games with the 10-run rule.
Grant Union head coach DeAnna Nash said she was pleased with the pitching performances of Cody Jo Madden in Game One and Mariah Moulton in Game Two, each pitching a full game.
The Prospectors’ bats were hot from the start, earning six runs in the first inning. Culver’s only run came in the fifth, and Grant Union ended it in five.
Multiple hits came from Brianna Zweygardt, who also had a home run in each game, and Ravyn Walker, Jocelynn Smith, Railey Namitz and Madden.
“Defensively, we had no errors,” Nash said.
Madden had five strikeouts, giving up two walks and two hits.
The Lady Pros finished their work in six innings for Game Two.
“Offensively, we had more walks and fewer hits, but that is showing our discipline at the plate,” Nash said.
Grant Union again got off to a quick start with five runs in the first.
Moulton had six strikeouts and allowed one walk and two hits. Grant Union had one error.
Both games ended with walk-off runs to allow the 10-run rule to end the games.
Grant Union hosts Nyssa for a doubleheader next Tuesday with games beginning at 1 p.m.
