The Scappoose Indians showed why they are currently the second-highest scoring softball team at the 4A level, as they pounded Astoria 18-1 in a Cowapa League contest Friday at CMH Field.

Scappoose collected 16 hits from eight different players and built an 11-0 lead through three innings.

Pitcher Jenna Hatcher allowed just three Astoria hits (Julia Norris, Lexxis Lyngstad, Kayla Helligso), and struck out seven batters with no walks.

Norris scored Astoria’s lone run in the fourth inning on a hit by Lyngstad.

Hannah Galey led the Indians, going 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBIs and two runs scored. Gabie Krueger and Taylor Johnson had three hits apiece for Scappoose.
