Two big innings by the Almond-Bancroft Eagles proved too much for the Sevastopol Pioneers softball team in their 10-3 loss on Thursday, ending their stint in the WIAA Tournament.
The Eagles scored four times in the first inning, taking advantage of a RBI double and a bases-clearing triple in the frame. The Pioneers would claw back into the game in the sixth inning when Addison Schauske homered, bringing Naomi Rikkola and Jolene Luedtke along for the ride. The Eagles would take the drama out of it in their half of the inning, scoring six times on six hits, two walks, and an error. The Pioneers went 1-2-3 in the top of the seventh via the strikeout to see their season come to a close.
Schauske took the loss for the Pioneers, allowing all 10 runs on 10 hits while striking out two.
