4/21/25 Softball: Chippewa Falls 9, Hudson 5

Back on the road, the Lady Cards (3-4, 3-1 Big Rivers Conference) headed west to face the Raiders (3-5, 1-3 BRC), hoping for a sweep of the season series.

Chi-Hi started off strong, plating at least one run in each of the first three innings to take a 4-0 lead, but a grand slam sparked five unanswered runs for Hudson, before a Cardinals rally began with one out in the seventh.

Senior second baseman Roz Twyman tallied three hits, including a game-tying solo homer, and fellow senior Makenna Bauer also collected three hits and drove in a pair of runs. Junior pitcher Willa Risinger and sophomore pitcher Violet Mcllquham fanned 5 batters apiece.
