MIDLOTHIAN – Lola Andrews, Addy Sellers and Olivia Marks hit back-to-back-to-back home runs as the Burleson Lady Elks varsity softball team beat the Midlothian Lady Panthers 9-5 Tuesday at Midlothian High School.

With two outs in the top of the fourth inning, sophomore catcher Andrews hit a solo shot to left on the first pitch of her at-bat to give the Lady Elks a 1-0 lead. She led the team with three RBIs as she went 2-for-4 with the home run and a two-run double.

Freshman designated-hitter Sellers homered to left on the very next pitch, increasing Burleson’s lead to 2-0. Sellers went 2-for-4 with the home run, two RBIs and a team-leading two runs scored.

Once she swung, she homered to left, increasing the Lady Elks’ lead to 3-0 in the top of the fourth. Marks went 2-for-4 with the home run and two RBIs.
