The bases were already loaded when Brooklyn Glasgow smacked a single to center for Community R-6's first hit Thursday night at Hermann.

Sarah Angel had been hit by a pitch. Olivia Schafer walked and Lydia Forbis reached base after also being tagged by a pitch.

The sequence set the tone for the game as the Trojans obliterated Hermann 18-0 on only seven base hits.

Following Glasgow's single, there was another walk and another hit batsman before Paige Painter drove one to the gap in left. Community ran through their lineup twice in the first before being retired.

"The Trojans came out ready to play again tonight," said head coach Kody Asquith.

Indeed, Community batted around again in the second. Angel renewed the onslaught with a single. Schafer and Olivia Kuda drew walks and Rylee Rafferty slapped a base hit. Before it was over, the Trojans had tacked on six more runs.

Meanwhile Painter silenced Hermann from the circle, surrendering just one hit.

Kuda, Glasgow, Rafferty, Painter, Ivy Hays and Britney Meyers each drove in two runs.

Community's JV squad also blanked the hosts, winning 6-0.
