Nelson Hawks Softball 17-11 Clackamas
The Nelson softball team's bats came alive Monday night in a wild 17-11 road victory over Clackamas that pushed the Hawks to .500 on the season.
Needed runs came in bunches for Nelson, who outgunned the Eagles in a contest that saw 28 total runs cross the plate. The offensive explosion was exactly what the Hawks needed after struggling early in the campaign.
The victory moves Nelson to 5-5 overall and 3-4 in conference play, marking a significant step forward for a team that has battled through adversity this spring. Monday's performance showcased the potential that has been building throughout the season.
While Clackamas kept pace offensively with 11 runs of their own, Nelson's ability to maintain their scoring momentum proved to be the difference in the high-scoring affair.
Reaching the .500 mark provides momentum as the Hawks head into the final stretch of the regular season. With conference standings still very much in flux, Nelson will look to build on this offensive breakthrough in their upcoming games.
