Jordan Lee went 3-for-3 with a double, a triple, was walked twice and had three runs batted in to lead the Warren Central Lady Vikings to a 17-7 win over the Cathedral Lady Green Wave Tuesday afternoon.

Both teams scored three runs in the first inning, one in the second inning and none in the third inning to make it a 4-4 game. Then Warren Central took control with a four-run rally in the top of the fourth inning that gave the Lady Vikings the lead for good at 8-4.

While the Lady Vikings were piling up runs on starting pitcher Emily Rasco and reliever Elizabeth Smith, the Lady Green Wave was unable to keep pace with them. That’s because winning pitcher Darby Gain held them to just one run each in the bottom of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.

Warren Central added two runs in the top of the fifth inning, four in the top of the sixth and three in the top of the seventh. Gain went the distance and gave up seven runs, only two earned, on nine hits with four strikeouts and two walks.
