West Lutheran Softball Beats Mayer Lutheran to Stay Alive
The West Lutheran softball team beat Mayer Lutheran 2-1 in an elimination game to stay alive in the Section 4A tournament.
The Warriors scored twice in the bottom of the first inning.
Megan Sherwood’s flyball deflected off the rightfielder’s glove to score Ellie Rolf.
Sherwood later scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-0.
Mayer Lutheran scored in the fourth as Mari Buhr dropped a hit on the rightfield line to score Chloe Wulf.
