Eagles' softball walks off Thunder with late game heroics

The Southern Door softball team never led in their Friday night game against Seymour until a two-out double from Harper Kramer scored Ava Uecker to walk it off 3-2 for the Eagles. 

Pitching was the highlight of the game on both sides as Seymour's Kendra Rettler went six and two-thirds innings striking out 11 Eagles' batters. For Southern Door, Alanah Kaye earned the win in three innings of work, while Samantha Melville started and went four innings allowing just one-run. 

 

Southern Door played errorless softball in the win and rallied when they needed it most. They put up two runs in the sixth inning to tie the game before the last frame. 

Leading the offense for the Eagles were Kaye, 4-for-4, and Kramer, 2-for-4, with a pair of runs scored and an RBI. Uecker singled on a pinch hit appearance to score the game's winning run. 

Southern Door play next on April 14th at Weyauwega-Fremont with a 4:30 first pitch.
