LHS softball routs SM South

? Lawrence High’s softball team exploded for 13 runs in the second inning on Tuesday and cruised to a 16-0 rout over Shawnee Mission South, shortened to three innings because of the mercy rule at SM District softball complex.

In the second inning, the first eight LHS batters reached base, including two-run triples from Amber Flummerfelt and Audrina Hidalgo, and a two-run double by Sophie Taylor.

Flummerfelt and Sydney O’Brien combined for a no-hitter in the three innings. O’Brien struck out five in two innings.
