4/30/24 Softball Doubleheader: (Game 1) McDonell Lady Macks 15, Osseo-Fairchild 1. (Game 2) McDonell 4, O/F 0.

Headed south for a doubleheader in Osseo, the Lady Macks (10-2, 7-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) started out quickly against the Thunder (4-10, 2-7 WCC), as McDonell looked to bounce back from a pair of conference defeats on Friday night.

The visitors' bats were alive and well in the first game, as Lady Macks hitters amassed 13 hits, including a 3-4 outing for senior catcher Morgan Wirtz. Though the offense didn't come as easily in game two, junior left fielder Kendall Hepfler went 2-3 and senior pitcher Katie Ruf 2-2, and, after coming close in multiple at bats, senior first baseman Aubrey Dorn clobbered a solo home run to deep center field in the 6th.

Ruf struck out seven batters in game one in just three innings of work, and then hurled an absolute gem in the second half of the doubleheader, with 12 Ks and a seven-inning shutout win.

4/26/24 Softball(2): Chippewa Falls-8, 10 Superior-6, 3

  The Cardinals(14-1, 7-1) swept Superior(5-3) 8-6 and 10-3 in a non-conference doubleheader on a blustery, cold afternoon at Casper park.

 After falling behind 6-3 in game one a Paige Steinmetz, 3rd inning, solo homer brought them to 6-4, and they added another run in the 4th making it 6-5. The Cards closed out the scoring with three in the 5th. Sophomore Willa Risinger pitched the complete game for the win.

In the nightcap the Cards exploded for five runs in both the 1st and 7th innings on their way to a 10-3 victory. Three homers in this contest helped propel CF to the victory: a 2-run HR by Lauren Shepherd in the 1st, a 3-run blast from Ali Geist in the 7th, and a solo shot right after that by Mc Kenna Bauer to close the scoring for the day.

4/26/24 Baseball: Chippewa Falls-1 Rice Lake-0

 A Lucas Logslett 2nd inning solo homer was all the offense the Cards(6-4, 4-2) needed to win their second game over Rice Lake(3-7, 1-5) this week, 1-0.

In getting the win Jake Lequia escaped bases loaded jams in the third and fourth innings in shutting out the Warriors. He struck out five and walked two, plus hit a batter, in his six-plus innings before giving way to Brady Smith in the 7th. Smith and the Cardinals D held the shut out as the sophomore earned the save.

4/23/24 Baseball: Bloomer 7, McDonell Macks 2

Back at Casper Park, the Macks (3-5, 1-5 Western Cloverbelt Conference) gave up five early runs to the veteran Blackhawks (6-2, 3-1 WCC), who came out of the gate strong, led by their junior pitcher, Collin Crane.

McDonell settled in on defense afterward, as junior pitcher Cooper Mittermeyer put up six innings of work, striking out half a dozen Bloomer batters.

The hits were hard to come by for the Macks against Crane, who struck out 10 on the evening, but McDonell was able to come within three runs after five, before one more late surge by the Blackhawks put the game out of reach.
