NATCHEZ — The Trinity Lady Saints picked up their first softball win of the year in explosive fashion, as they overcame an early deficit to whip Tallulah 20-5 in just three innings Tuesday night.

Tallulah scored two runs in the top of the first inning and three more in the top of the second to take a 5-0 lead, but Trinity would make sure that lead didn’t last long.

The Lady Saints exploded for 10 runs in the bottom of the second inning to take a 10-5 lead.

After holding Tallulah scoreless in the top of the third inning, the Lady Saints bats stayed hot, as Trinity scored 10 more runs in the bottom of the third inning to end the game thanks to the 15-run mercy rule.

Katie Steele took advantage of the great run support to post the victory in the circle and upped her record to 1-1 on the season.

Julia Stevens led Trinity at the plate with a double.

Trinity (1-1) next takes on Central Private in a home game at 5 p.m. Thursday.
