Girls pick up wins

Wellington improved its record to 4-6 with two big wins over league rival Andale/Garden Plain.

She contributed with a single in the first and a triple in the fourth in which Wellington scored three runs in both innings.

In the first inning, Carlie McComb, Oathout and Buck scored to put Wellington in front 3-0. Andale would score a run in the third.

Then in the top of the fourth, Shelby Hamel, Brianna Mullen and McComb loaded the bases. Then Oathout stepped to the plate and blasted a triple to right field which put the Crusaders in front 6-1.

But Andale made a comeback in the bottom half of the inning with two home runs to cut the lead to 6-4.

Peyton Adams then hit a home run in the sixth. Andale responded with a run. Then in the top of the seventh, Buck tripled and came home on a Jaden Dry single.

Leading 8-5, Wellington then held on to dear life, as Andale quickly narrowed the lead from 8-5 to 8-7 with a two-run homer. But Wellington retired the next three batters and held on to victory.

In game two, the opposite occurred. Andale raced out to the lead, but Wellington was making the comeback.

Andale rolled to a 4-0 lead in three innings. But in the fourth, McComb singled and Oathout reached base on a fielders’ choice. Both came him on Indian errors.

Down 5-2, Wellington scored three runs in the top of the sixth. Freshman Erin Goodrum opened the inning with a home run and from that point on, it was Wellington’s game. Peyton Adams and Taylor Zimmerman scored runs to tie the game at 5-all before the inning ended.

Then in the seventh, Wellington would score six runs, including a two-run Jade Dry homer.

Wellington ended up hitting the ball 18 times in both games, while committing two errors in each.
