Aberdeen 6, Black Hills 2

All season long, Aberdeen pitcher Lilly Camp has used her right arm to dominate opposing teams.

On Monday, she also used her bat.

Camp led an Aberdeen offensive outburst with four hits in a 6-2 Bobcats win on Monday in Black Hills.

Aberdeen (10-1, 5-1 2A Evergreen) took an early lead with two runs in the top of the first thanks to RBI singles by infielder Britten Neal and Camp.

The Bobcats doubled the lead in the third on an RBI double by Rylee Hendrickson and a run-scoring single off the bat of second baseman Ally Adams.

A run in the fourth off a single by first baseman Maysinn Jones put Aberdeen up 5-0.

Black Hills, which was no-hit by Camp back on April 11, finally got to the Cats’ ace with two runs in the fifth on an RBI ground out by Makenna Oderman followed by a sacrifice fly from Madi Malone.

But Camp would work of the jam and wiggle her way out of a Wolves one-out, bases-loaded opportunity in the sixth to hold Black Hills at two runs.

Camp had two doubles in her four hits and drove in a run for Aberdeen.

Left fielder Audree Gaddis went 3 for 3 with an RBI and two stolen bases with Hendrickson and Adams collecting two hits apiece for the Bobcats.

Despite not having her typical shutdown performance with eight walks in the game, Camp still earned the win, allowing the two earned runs on four hits with seven strikeouts in pitching a complete game.

Aberdeen hosts W.F. West at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday in its first of two potential league-championship defining matchups this week.

The Bobcats then face Tumwater at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday in Aberdeen.
