Mt. Hermon School scored eight runs in the second inning and freshman Shamya Hart had a big day in an 11-5 victory over Pine at home Monday.

Hart drove in three runs while reaching base three times. She singled, doubled and walked.

“Last time we played them, I kind of struck out a few (times),” Hart said. “I think my coach (Allie Boquet) has helped me out a lot throughout this whole year. I just want to thank my coach for helping me.”

Coach Boquet said Hart has struggled this season but said she capitalized in this game.

“She had a really good hit,” Boquet said. “She was a really good teammate. I try to emphasize to these kids that you’ve got to be a really good teammate. So it’s all about RBIs, runs batted in, so that’s what they aim for. They aim to get the person that’s on base in. They’re not trying to swing for the fence.”

Pine got on the board first in the opening inning with two runs, as the Lady Raiders put a two-out rally together.

Haley Stephens, who posted two hits, singled to center and reached second on an error. Megan Graham, who had a hit and two runs scored, reached on a throwing error before swiping second.

Both scored on a two-run single by Sierra Miley, putting Pine in front 2-0.

It remained that way until the bottom of the second when the Lady Jackets put up an eight spot.

Kalei Hughes, who doubled, drove in two, scored three runs and walked twice, walked on a triple by the next hitter Karla Martin to cut the lead in half.

Martin, who singled, doubled and drove in two runs, was later tagged out by catcher Graham, trying to advance on a ball in the dirt.

Morgan Lusk and Alyssa Barber walked, and Destiny Brumfield was hit. Lusk, who singled and walked, scored on a passed ball to tie things, 2-2. Barber, who singled and walked, was forced out at the plate on a fielder’s choice by Taylor Blanchard.
