A 20-run day was only good enough to earn a season-opening split for Alton Redbirds softball on Saturday.

The Redbirds beat the Centralia Orphans 9-7 in the opener before falling 17-11 in the second game of a doubleheader at Alton High in Godfrey.

Alton junior Tami Wong went 7-for-7 in her debut after earning Telegraph Large-School Player of the Year honors as a sophomore. She had two doubles and two RBIs.

In the opener, Alton overcame a 5-2 deficit with four runs in the seventh inning and three more in the sixth. Along with Wong’s four hits, the Redbirds got two doubles and two RBIs from Ashlyn Betz, two hits and two RBIs from Rachel McCoy. Winning pitcher Abby Scyoc, who also chipped in a pair of hits, went six innings before Alyson Haegele closed with a hitless seventh for the save.

In the second game, the Orphans never trailed though a 10-1 lead was trimmed to 10-9 before Centralia regained command with a five-run fifth inning. Lynna Fischer hit a three-run homer, Ashley Betz had two hits and three RBIs, and Scyoc had a pair of hits for Alton. Scyoc was handed the loss after allowing seven runs on 11 hits in four innings.
