Midd-West High School's softball team cruised to an 11-0 victory over Shikellamy in a six-inning Heartland Athletic Conference crossover game. Freshman Olivia Dorman continued her hot start to the season, recording three more hits at the top of the Mustangs' lineup, while Cali Sauer and Kady Wagner each drove in two runs.

Why it matters

This lopsided win showcases the strength of the Midd-West softball program, which has high expectations this season after making the playoffs last year. Dorman's early-season breakout performance is also a promising sign for the team's future.

The details

Dorman singled to start the first inning and came around to score the game's first run. Sauer and Wagner then each knocked in a pair of runs to help Midd-West build a big early lead. The Mustangs cruised the rest of the way, ending the game after six innings due to the mercy rule.
