Caledonia Area Warriors softball dropped a game to the Stewartville Tigers 2-1 on Monday, April 29 but bounced back against the La Crescent-Hokah Lancers to take both games of a doubleheader, 10-4 and 12-5.
Against Stewartville
Braelyn Lange took the circle for the Warriors for this matchup and had a very strong outing. She would go the whole game, allowing five hits and two runs, but striking out 12. Unfortunately, the bats could not effectively wake up, only scoring one run off of a Braelyn Lange double in the third inning. The Tigers would scrounge two runs in the fourth and sixth innings, and that’s all they’d need to take the matchup against the Warriors.
Top hitters for the Warriors included Avery Augedahl, Braelyn Lange, Elsa Blum and Aubrie Klug, all going 1 for 3 in the contest.
