BOURBON – Triton High School’s varsity softball team rallied in a big way Monday. Hosting Elkhart Christian in a Class 1A Sectional 52 semifinal, the Lady Trojans trailed 2-0 and 5-1 in the first three innings, but scored 10 runs in the fifth and sixth innings to capture a 15-5 win. Improving to 19-10 on the season, Triton erupted for seven runs in the fifth inning, then added three more in the sixth en route to the six-inning, 10-run win at Keyser Field. Taytum Hargrave led the Lady Trojans with a 4-for-5 performance at the plate that included a pair of doubles. Triton’s Kayla Kreft was 3 for 5, including a double, and drove in five runs. Teammate Lexee Lemler was 3 for 4 with a double and four RBIs. Heather Stichter and Hannah Jennings also hit doubles in the win. Courtney Jennings picked up the victory in the circle. Pitching two innings in relief, Jennings gave up just one hit and no runs. Brycelyn Garbison started the game in the circle for Triton and lasted four innings.
