Lion girls cannot maintain lead against FC/L

Spring Grove led twice but managed only one base hit in a 17-7 loss to Fillmore Central/Lanesboro on April 13 at Preston. Katelyn Kraus singled into right field to drive in two runs during the Lions’ big six-run second inning, which took advantage of two walks, two hit batters and two FC/L errors. Kraus would score on a wild pitch for a 7-4 Spring Grove lead. But FC/L plated nine runs in the bottom of the inning. The contest ended in the fifth inning with the 10-run rule.

For the home team, Indy Qualy batted 2 for 2 while driving in five runs and scoring three. Jensyn Storhoff (2 for 4) had the big blow, a lead-off triple in the second inning. Klaudia Biel was credited with the pitching win, while Izabel Kaufmann was the pitcher of record for Spring Grove.

FC/L improved to 1-2 before finishing the week at 1-3.
