Two go deep
Renna Schwieterman and Rieley Brewster both hit home runs in the second inning, powering the Jay County softball team past sectional rival Delta 8-1 in a game that was shortened because of rain with two outs in the sixth inning.
Schwieterman, a sophomore, hit her first career home run, putting Jay County (2-1) on top in the home half of the second inning. Then Brewster went back-to-back with a solo shot of her own.
The Patriots were ahead 3-0 after the third inning before Delta got on the board in the top of the fourth. But Jay County responded with a five-spot in the bottom of the frame. Olivia Bright drew a bases-loaded walk, and two Delta errors allowed the Patriots to score four more runs.
Renna Schwieterman, Brewster and Bright finished with two hits and an RBI each.
Haleigh Clayton got the win pitching, scattering three hits, allowing one earned run with one strikeout.
Indians roll
