The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods softball team extended its winning streak to 11 games Thursday with 3-1 and 13-1 victories against Alice Lloyd College.
The Pomeroys (27-13, 13-7 River States Conference) put together two strong performances at the SMWC Softball Field in windy conditions. Freshman Lanna Martinez (11-4) struck out 11 in the opener and Summer Rocha (8-7) scattered four hits in a five-inning win in the nightcap.
 
GAME 2
Pinch runner Abbi Henderson got the scoring started in the third when she stole second and third base before racing home on a wild pitch.
In the 5^th, Tori Lee got a little help from the wind gusts to collect a two-RBI double in the fifth to score Camryn Scott and Emily Singleton, who both singled.
That was all Martinez needed. The freshman has allowed just one earned run and 12 hits in her last four outings, a span of 20 innings with four wins.
