Chippewa Valley This Week
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.
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.
