Softball Explodes for 35 runs in Sweep of Wells

AURORA, N.Y. -- Houghton softball set several team and individual records in a doubleheader sweep of Wells College on Thursday. Houghton claimed game 1 by a 14-1 score and took the nightcap, 21-3.

Both games were called after five innings. The Highlanders scored at least two runs in each inning played and scored at least three in seven innings.

The 21 runs scored in game 2 was a program record, as was the 35 total runs over the two games. Game 1 also featured a team-record four triples, and game 2 saw McKenzie Marti tie a program mark with five hits and set a new record with five runs scored. Taylor Sile scored five runs on the day, moving alone into first place in career runs scored with 81. Sile now owns the career marks for runs, hits, RBI, doubles, home runs, walks, batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage.
