Goodland, KS-Maria Avendano Fori collected a season-high four hits and clubbed her team-best 10th homer of the season, Chiara Olison improved to 6-1 in the circle, and Garden City hammered Fort Hays Tech Northwest, 19-2 in game two on Wednesday afternoon.
Olison also knocked in four runs for the Broncbusters, which won their fourth straight game to improve to 13-9 and 5-3 in conference play in front of their showdown with first-place Butler on Thursday.
Fori's two-run homer in the first followed by a pair of RBI singles by Keiry Abreu and Alyssa Santana, put Garden City up, 5-0. Kenzie Garza then led off the second with a long ball and both Fori and Maysen Kurene-Iwikau connected on back-to-back run-scoring doubles to make it 9-0.
Garden City added six more in the third before Olison helped her own cause with a three-run homer in the fourth.
Olison allowed only four hits in four proficient innings for the Broncbusters. She walked one.
Tigers starter, Maria Romero was lit up for 15 runs on 16 hits in just two innings.
