ROUNDUP: Neelyville, Twin Rivers softball roll

By DAR STAFF

Chelsea Lane held the Lady Tigers to three hits, and the Lady Eagles used their speed and baserunning to overwhelm Clearwater 11-0.

"They're one of the best-hitting teams around," Clearwater coach Shannon England said of the Lady Eagles.

Lane, Holly Deckard and Tabitha Elliott each went 3-for-4 and scored a pair of runs for Naylor.

Lane struck out six and walked three to pick up the win.

"We didn't strike out much," England said. "We just hit it right at people."

The Lady Eagles did a lot of their best work on offense by taking advantage of their ability to bunt and advance runners.

"They had a lot of infield singles, and they like to bunt," England said. "It's just amazing."
