South Adams put six on the board in the top of the first and never looked back, scoring a 15-5 win in just five innings over rival Adams Central Thursday.
The Starfires forced Adams Central into mistakes and scored their 15 runs on just eight hits. Adams Central committed three errors and their chances at making it a game were plagued by seven walks issued by Jet pitchers and four hit batsmen.
Melina Peralez continued her hot hitting in the loss, stroking a home run off Addie Baker in third, singling in the fifth and hitting a double in the first.
Baker worked the first four innings in the circle for the Stars, striking out seven and walking three.
Kenzie Neuenschwander knocked in three with a pair of singles and Reagan Bollenbacher had an RBI double.
South Adams gained ground in the ACAC standings with Heritage’s loss in Portland. They will play a doubleheader at Eastbrook Saturday, then round out the regular season with five non-conference games.
