PhotoFest: Thunder Basin Takes 2 from Worland in Softball

Thunder Basin is the three-time defending State Champion in softball, and the Bolts are off to a rousing start with 8 wins in their first 8 games. This team has depth and ability and put that on display in Worland on Saturday.

Thunder Basin was coming off a doubleheader sweep of Sheridan on Friday and went right to work vs. Worland with a 21-0 win in game one of a doubleheader. The Bolts pounded out 30 hits in the game and put 16 runs on the board in the last 3 innings. Izzy Carter had 5 hits in the game for Thunder Basin, with Paige Shaffer driving in 3 runs with 4 hits at the plate. Shaffer, by the way, was tremendous in the circle, throwing a 2-hit shut-out with 10 strikeouts.

In the nightcap, Thunder Basin rolled to a 16-2 win over Worland, scoring runs in every inning. Kalissa Terrell had a nice game at the plate with 3 hits and 2 RBI's while Madlyn Means and Addison Ludwar had 3 runs batted in and 2 hits apiece. The Bolts will be in Casper on Monday, the 7th of April, to take on Kelly Walsh, while Worland is 0-8 for the year.
