The start of Alton's nonconference softball game with Roxana was pushed back two hours from its mid-morning start due to low temperatures and wet grounds.
The delay didn't seem to effect the Redbirds' bats as they pounded 11 hits on the way to an 11-1 victory over the visiting Shells (2-5).
Alton (6-0) has scored 64 runs this season.
Senior Katelyn Presley led the charge going 4-for-4 with two runs and two hits. Freshman Tami Wong drove in two runs, sophomore Rachael McCoy scored three times.
Junior Sydney Hartman knocked in two. Sophomore Taylor Herrin and senior Alicia Goewey had a hit, run and RBI.
Senior Brittany Roady went the distance for the win. She gave up six hits and struck out six.
