Chippewa Valley This Week
In a possible playoff preview, the Lady Cards (12-6) gave up a lone early run to the Timberwolves (13-3), and that proved to be the difference, as Chi-Hi struggled to garner baserunners against University of Wisconsin commit Anna Wall.
In the second game of the day, the Cardinals were able to get a few more aboard against the Evergreens, but could not capitalize, with a late homer by Everest proving to be the difference.
Against Tomah, senior pitcher Willa Risinger came into the game in relief in the third and proceeded to strike out a dozen Timberwolves, while junior pitcher Delaney Bero started her first game of the season against D.C. Everest and went the distance, striking out 11 along the way.
In a possible playoff preview, in Augusta against a state-ranked opponent, the Lady Macks (13-4, 11-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) grabbed two runs early against the Beavers (13-2, 10-0 Dairyland - Large Conference), and were able to hold their opponent at bay for the rest of the contest.
As both pitchers found their groove, offense was hard to come by, but fireworks in the fifth and seventh helped McDonell pull away for good.
Junior pitcher Kelsey Bremness not only twirled a complete game shutout, she also hit a pair of homers and drove in 5 runs. Freshman Taylan Hanson collected three hits from the leadoff spot, and also swiped three bases.
