BELOIT — The Beloit Turner Trojans turned a pair of inside-the-park home runs into a 3-2 victory over visiting Monroe (14-6) at the Stateline YMCA Youth Sports Complex on Monday.
The Trojans (7-6) scored first when Emma Bue singled, took second on a groundout and scored on an error. Monroe jumped in front in the second inning, however, on a two-run triple by Emma Tran.
It stayed 2-1 until the bottom of the fourth inning. Kamdyn Davis, the lone senior celebrated on Senior Day, smacked an inside-the-park homer to center field as she scored easily. Two outs later, Autumn Meris copied Davis by hitting a drive to right field and circling the bases before Monroe could make a play on her.
Reliever Lauryn Wells collected the win with 3 2-3 innings of scoreless ball. She allowed only two hits, walked no one and struck out three. She came on in the third inning with the bases loaded and no outs and wriggled out of the jam without a run scoring. She got a strikeout, a forceout at the plate and shortstop Davis fielded Alexis Herbst’s grounder and threw her out.
Bue was the lone Trojan with multiple hits, going 2-for-3.

• HONONEGAH 13, FREEPORT 1: It was a pitchers’ duel for four innings with Hononegah clinging to a 1-0 lead, but the Indians (21-1, 13-0 NIC-10) broke it open with five runs in the fifth inning and seven in the sixth to invoke the mercy rule after six. Hononegah won its 20th straight game.
The beneficiary of all the offense was starting pitcher Aislynn Palmer, who allowed only one hit through five innings, walking one and striking out nine. Emma Tapia came on to work the seventh and allowed two hits and one run.

South Beloit’s only hits were singles by Zorah Martin and Macey Lineman. Whitney Schnack took the loss, but just one of the 10 runs charged to her was earned. She allowed six hits, walked two and struck out 10.
