4/10/26 Softball: Baldwin-Woodville 7, McDonell Lady Macks 0

Playing at home for the second consecutive night, the Lady Macks (3-3, 2-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) gave up three early runs to the Blackhawks (4-0, 2-0 Middle Border Conference), who showcased their hitting prowess throughout the order.

After the visitors took a 6-0 lead through three, McDonell settled in defensively, allowing just one run for the remainder of the game. Baldwin-Woodville proved a little too strong in the circle and in the field, however, putting down every Lady Macks threat and going home with an unblemished record and another shutout.

Sophomore left fielder Brynn Wedemeyer made a sparkling play to save a run, laying out to make a catch, and also led the team with a 2-for-3 night at the plate.

4/9/26 Softball: McDonell Lady Macks 3, Fall Creek 2 (9 innings)

In their home opener, matched up against the defending conference champs and a team that had beaten them nine consecutive times, the Lady Macks (3-2, 2-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) were locked in a pitchers' duel with the Crickets (1-5, 1-1 WCC), as both teams backed up their starter with solid defense.

Tied at one after the seventh, the game headed to extras. Fall Creek added a run in their half of the eighth, but McDonell answered in the bottom of the frame before blanking the Crickets and walking it off in the bottom of the 9th, their first win against Fall Creek since 2021.

Freshman right fielder Taylan Hanson delivered the final blow with a walk-off single, one of her two hits on the night. Junior catcher Lizzy Leibrandt crushed a solo shot to tie the game in the bottom of the fourth, and junior pitcher Kelsey Bremness ripped two doubles while striking out 7 and going the distance.
