It only took five innings but that was plenty for the South Oldham softball team to route Jeffersontown Thursday night, upending the Lady Chargers 18-2 to improve to 1-1 on the season.

Danielle Hempel earned the win for the Lady Dragons on the mound, tossing five innings of five hit ball with seven strikeouts.

Emma Leskody led the team in hits with three, while Courtney Galvan added three RBIs.

They return to the field tonight, hosting Southern  in a 5:30 p.m. game.

If South Oldham was supposed to feel intimidated by a first-round matchup with Collins High School, someone forgot to pass that along to the Dragons Tuesday night as they ended the Titans’ season in dramatic fashion, rallying for a thrilling 85-82 overtime win.
“All we heard was how horrible a draw this was for us, that’d we have to play the best team in the region first,” senior Matt Haysley said. “But you know what, it was a bad draw for them.”
Early on, it certainly looked like it as South Oldham came out of gates in a flurry.

Less than a week removed from a disappointing loss in the final of the district tournament, Oldham County looked like a totally different team in its regional opener against Gallatin County Thursday night, blitzing the Lady Wildcats 58-37.
Though sloppy ball handling continued to plague Oldham County, they were able to overcome 20 turnovers with a strong presence on the boards and plenty of contributors.
