LONDONDERRY, N.H. -- Olivia Perry went 2-for-2 with a home run and three RBIs Saturday to lead the Greylock Thunder 18U travel softball team to a 10-5 win over the Mass Drifters at the New England Fusion College Showcase.

 
Izabela Tart was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, and Paxton Ebling tripled in a 12-hit attack for the Thunder.
 
Perry also struck out three in three innings of work in the circle before being relieved by Emma Lemire, who finished off the five-inning win.
