The #1 Algoma Wolves capitalized on an error in the fifth inning to comeback and beat the #4 St. Mary's Springs Ledgers 2-1 in the Division 4 Regional championship on Thursday at Peterson Park.

 

The Wolves fell behind 1-0 in the second inning on a RBI single by Gracie Konkel for the Ledgers.

 

St. Mary’s Springs carried the lead into the bottom of the fourth inning when Ryley Zimmerman led off with a single and advanced to second on a fielder's choice.  That set the stage for Nora Krause who delivered an RBI single to score Ryley tying the game 1-1.

 

The top of the fifth inning saw the Ledgers score the potential lead run on a tag up at second base and score by Konkel on a deep fly ball to right field.  But Konkel was called out after an appeal by Algoma that she left too early from second base.

 

The Wolves would then take the lead in the bottom of the fifth inning when Jayden Nellis scored from second base on a ground ball throw that was dropped at first base for an error with two outs.

 

Macie Zimmerman took over from there for the Wolves, retiring the final eight batters and striking out the side in the seventh to end the game.

 

 

 

Zimmerman struck out nine batters while only allowing one run on four hits in going the distance for the complete game win. 

 

St. Mary’s Springs finishes the season at 11-13. 

 

The Wolves (23-3) will now head to the sectionals to play #2 Random Lake who defeated St. Mary’s Catholic, on Tuesday in Algoma.
