Lake Oswego softball finishes Glencoe Tournament with a win
Parker Boyd and Emily Sorem dominated for the Hawks in the circle as the two combined to shutdown the Leopards and help earn two wins. With two outs, Buff walked two runners, allowed a double and gave up two singles to give MA a 6-2 lead.
In game two Lehigh mustered only four hits, but still managed to win the game. “We just need to put complete games together”. The senior spun six innings in the circle and allowed just four hits and one run while working around five walks.
Flanked by senior Savannah Hawhee and sophomore Ally Hall, the Pendleton Heights junior represents one-third of perhaps the most athletic outfield in the area and – if she stays healthy – could be poised for a breakout season. Rayleigh Thagard had two RBIs, while Jaala Torrence drove in one run.
The home side struggled for production from the top of the lineup, with the top-three batters of the order combining to go 1-for-13 in the game. Justen Freeman followed with two knocks and Chase Andrews collected a RBI with a single.
Liberty 18, Reardan 1 (GM1): Cheyanne Gleave hit a grand slam and Jaidyn Stephens added a three-run home run and the Lancers beat the Indians.
NIACC scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and held the Tritons scoreless in the top of the seventh to claim the split in the twinbill. “But then I saw that they were playing way back in leftfield and centerfield and that there was a huge gap, so I went with a hard slap”.
Stiltner and Griffith (1 RBI) were both 2-3 in the victory. Amie Coffman, Jordyn Lambert, and Brittany McGill had two hits apiece. And the Bull Dogs’ two sixth-inning runs, one of them also unearned, were matched in the bottom of the inning. Jonathan Smithey lasted only a third of an inning giving up six runs on just three hits and walking three.
Jocelyn Zook singled in the third inning for the Bears (0-1) – the first hit allowed by Neiss this season.
An error and a single put the first two Wildcats aboard in the bottom of the first. Makayla White’s 3-for-3 output with a walk, three stolen bases, and three runs scored allowed the senior to join Dillow in the multi-hit column. “Any time you can take a road series, it is big”. Last year, the Ball State commit hit.522 and hammered 10 home runs for the sectional-champion Tigers.
The Colonials will face Georgetown at home Wednesday at 3 p.m.to cap off their 20-game homestand.
North Salem answered with a pair of runs against Lake Oswego reliever Abby Tomita in the top of the fourth to make it 9-2, both of those coming home on a run-scoring single from Ashley McKenzie.
Saints fall: Zach Tomerlin homered and Gage Juarez had two hits and an RBI in Central Catholic’s 15-5, five-inning loss to Cincinnati King at Vero Beach, Fla. Sam Graf led the offense with two hits and two RBI. And with the tying run at home plate in McKenna Yensen with two outs, Yensen grounded out to shortstop for the final out, sealing the win for Rainier. The inning concluded with the score at 6 – 3, with Raffles Institution still in the lead. “On the first one, I didn’t think I would have to slide, but she was a lefty and the ball started to curve away from me”.
Zoe Miller and Kayla Louie each singled to join Jones and Frazier in accounting for the four hits for the Lady Flames.
In game two the Wolves took control early.
