A powerful Graham hitting attack was too much for Bellefontaine to contain Friday as the visiting Falcons rolled to an 11-0 win in five innings at Blue Jacket Park.

Bellefontaine falls to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the Central Buckeye Conference, while Graham is 1-0, 1-0.
It was closely contested game through three innings as the Falcons led 1-0 entering the fourth.
However, Graham put up six runs in the top of the fourth and followed with four more in the fifth to put the game away.
“We lost some focus defensively around the fouth inning and just never got on track offensively,” said Bellefontaine head coach Katie Buffkin. “As a team, we need to be more aggressive at the plate.”
Graham piled up 14 hits and belted a pair of home runs.
The Chiefs had just two hits on the afternoon, with Jenna Carman and Jaelynn Roberts each collecting one.
