Fallon softball takes first game of series with Dayton

 The Greenwave softball team won the first game of a three-game series Wednesday by defeating Dayton, 28-0, at the Edward Arciniega Athletic Complex.
Fallon travels to Dayton on Saturday for a doubleheader that begins at 11 a.m.
Fallon has been on a roll, winning its last nine games to post a 9-4 record.
Lowry leads the Northern 3A-East with an 11-2 record, losing only to Fallon and Spring Creek. Fallon and Fernley have identical records, but the Vaqueros hold the tie-breaker for second place as they took two out of three games from the Wave in late April.
Fallon had an easy time against the inexperienced Dust Devils, scoring seven runs in the first inning before the first out.
With the bases loaded, Rachel Mori scored on a passed ball. Shaylee Fagg stepped up and ripped a three-run homer to centerfield. After Savana Manha was hit by a pitch, and Reece Hutchings singled, Trinity Helton stroked a two-run double for a 6-0 lead. Hudsyn Clark singled in a run.
Fallon had a 9-0 lead with two outs after Cassie Edgmon singled home a run, and Lydia Bergman grounded out on a fielder’s choice to score a run.
The Wave scored its next three runs on passed balls and a single from Helton, who was batting for the second time in the inning. Clark drove in two runs on a double, and Mori swatted a two-run home run for a 17-0 Fallon lead. Edgmon followed with a solo shot over the centerfield fence for her third RBI.
Helton, who was batting for the third time in the inning, also drove in two more runs with a single for a 21-0 lead. She had five RBIs in the game.
The Wave loaded the bases again, and scored on four walks, and Fagg doubled in two runs for a 27-0 lead.
In the second inning, Raelynn Neumann smacked an RBI single, her fourth hit of the game.
The game was called after the third inning because of the mercy rule.
Mori pitched the first two innings, and Shayda Lofthouse the third.
