Kewaunee softball blows past Gibraltar twice Tuesday

Kewaunee Storm softball had no trouble with Gibraltar on Tuesday, sweeping the doubleheader 15-0 and 17-1.

 

Game one was over early. Kewaunee put up three in the first and then exploded for 11 in the third to put it out of reach. Summer Walechka and Ali Repitz each drove in three runs, and Repitz was sharp in the circle too, tossing four scoreless innings with six strikeouts. Vivian Bootz added three stolen bases and the Storm drew 11 walks on the day.

 

Game two was more of the same. Kewaunee jumped on Gibraltar early and kept piling on, finishing with 13 hits and winning 17-1. Mariah Schlies was the offensive star, going 4-for-5 with three RBIs. Breanna Riha earned the win in the circle, striking out seven over six innings while allowing just one run.

 

Gibraltar committed a ton of errors in both games and the Storm made them pay every single time.

 

Kewaunee heads to Peshtigo Friday with first pitch at 4:30.
