4/12/25 Softball: McDonell Macks 9, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser 0

After their bats came alive in the seventh inning the previous night in Cumberland, it was another road trip for the Macks (3-1, 1-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference), who faced strong starting pitching from the Bulldogs (1-3, 0-1 Heart O'North Conference).

In a pitchers' duel, the teams traded scoreless innings for the majority of the contest, until McDonell finally broke through with a lone run in the sixth. The top of the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser order was unable to answer, and once again the Macks' bats exploded in the final frame, plating eight runs to notch a third straight win.

Junior pitcher Cael Holm struck out five Bulldogs while pitching five scoreless innings, and senior shortstop Cooper Mittermeyer reached base all four times he came to the plate, tallying two hits and drawing two walks.
