In a 14-4 win over Damonte Ranch in six innings, the Senators broke the game open in the fifth inning behind a seven-run home half. Senator pitcher Caydee Farnworth struck out 12 in the circle while also launching a three-run homer to center field in the fifth, going 2-for-4 at the plate. “I don’t think so,” said Farnworth on if she’s hit a ball further at Carson’s home field. “We were seeing the ball really well. Our whole lineup is seeing the ball really well.” Freshman Sofia Morrison helped out her pitcher as well with a solo home run to left field in the bottom of the second, marking her first long ball as a varsity player in a Senator uniform.
