Crittenden County scored in every inning but two and pulled away from Hopkins County Central 13-8 to win their season opener Monday in Mortons Gap.

The defending Fifth District champs rapped out 14 hits as eight of the nine starters had at least one hit.

Up 5-3 after four innings, Crittenden County scored four in the fifth and three more in the seventh to hold off the Lady Storm.

Hannah Cooksey and Emmie Smith both doubled as part of their two-hit nights, with Smith knocking in three runs. Brandy Book also had three RBIs for the Lady Rockets.

The Lady Rockets would need their offensive night to overcome a two-homer, three RBI night from Hopkins Central eighth grader Brenna Sherman.

Jenna Potter struck out three and walked three in picking up the win in the circle.

Crittenden County hosts Union County Tuesday.
