A lot of the players for the Forks softball team have gotten hot during the latter half of April as the Spartans have won seven in a row, but none of them is as white-hot as senior Chloe Gaydeski.

Against North Beach on Thursday, she went 6-for-6 in a doubleheader with six runs scored and nine RBIs.

And finally, in a doubleheader against Tenino on Friday, she went 4-for-7 with two doubles, four runs scored and three RBIs.

Gaydeski’s scorching week has raised her season batting average to .682, with a slugging percentage of .886 and an OPS of 1.574. She has 20 runs scored and 25 RBIs in 12 games.
