MONTICELLO - The Ponies took both games of a doubleheader against Cassville on Saturday.
Monticello won the first game 14-4 and the second 15-0, both lasting just five innings.
In the first game, Tanya Smith was 4 for 4 to lead the offensive attack. Alyssa Zimmerman, Jade Green and Maggie Edge each had two hits for the Ponies.
"That's the bottom four of our lineup," said Monticello coach Duane Garrison, whose team pounded out 15 hits. "We hit well all day. We are really balanced 1 through 9."
Claire Bruns took the win on the mound, going 4 1/3 innings.
"It was her first start," Garrison said of the freshman. "She got into a little bit of trouble in the fifth inning, but other than that She did very well."
Monticello used a seven-run fourth inning to go up on Cassville, which scored all four of its runs in the top of the fifth. The Ponies then scored another seven runs in the bottom of the fifth to end the game.
In the second game, Taylor Pfeuti went 4 for 5. Marissa Berg and Green each had two hits.
Karlie Klossner got the win on the hill, lasting all five innings and allowing just three hits and a walk. Monticello had 13 hits in Game 2.
