GREENCASTLE — Kylee Miller continued her run of excellent pitching and Chambersburg's bats exploded late as the Trojans defeated Greencastle-Antrim 12-0 in a non-league softball game at G-A on Monday afternoon.
Miller (4-0) did not allow a hit to the Blue Devils, walked two and struck out five.
Chambersburg coach Chris Skultety said, "Kylee was in complete control today and gave us time to get the bats going. She was never in trouble and I think that let our hitters relax."
"I was going with everything, but my fastball on the inside corner was really working well today," said Miller, who is off to a fine start. "I just try to play hard every time I pitch."
Blue Devil coach Mark DeCarli said, "This is the first time I've seen (Miller). She wasn't overpowering, but she had our girls confused. They said she moved the ball around and all of her pitches had them off-balance."
The Trojans (4-0) led 4-0 after five innings, but then put up eight more runs in the top of the fifth.
"We left too many runners on base over the first four innings, so we made a couple of changes in the fifth and the players off the bench came through," Skultety said.
Samantha Paetow belted a pair of doubles and drove in three runs for Chambersburg, which also got doubles from Allysa Brechbill, Kenzie Boyd, Saleen Null, Abagail Newman and Abby Slimmer. Hannah Runk had two RBIs and Slimmer drove in a pair with her two-base hit. Boyd and Newman each had a pair of hits.
Skultety said, "Newman continues to swing a hot bat and has fought her way into the lineup. We have a great mix of experience and hungry young players who are fighting for playing time. You have to earn it. I'm very proud of how they battle every day, but yet are 100% supportive of one another."
For G-A (3-2), Sophie Layton took the loss on the mound.
