The South Winneshiek softball team finished its week with a 3-2 record, which makes the team 8-13 on the season.

The Warriors opened the week Monday, June 12, with a doubleheader against Clayton Ridge.

The Eagles earned the win in game one by a score of 13-1, but the Warriors fired back in game two to win 7-2.

In the first game, senior Ashley Kriener had the only RBI. In game two, both sophomore Mary Frana and junior Liz Tieskoetter each had a pair of RBI. Freshman pitcher Eryn Luzum also struck out nine batters on her way to picking up the win in game two.

On Wednesday (June 12), South Winn returned to action as it dominated its UIC foe, Postville, in a doubleheader.

In game one, the Warriors picked up a 20-0 win, scoring 19 runs in the first inning alone.

Five Warriors had three-RBI games in the win, including Mary Frana, Sierra Breitsprecher, Madison Kriener, Liz Engelhardt, and Eryn Luzum.

On the mound, Eryn Luzum earned the win as she struck out four batters and allowed only one hit in three innings of work.

In game two of the night, the Warriors again came to play, winning 12-0.

Both Frana and junior Katelyn Heying each had three RBI, while eighth-grader Alison Heying struck out three batters in a winning effort on the mound.

The Warriors returned to the diamond Thursday as they hosted Sumner-Fredericksburg, but were defeated by a narrow 7-6 final score.

Leading the way for the Warriors was Ashley Kriener and Sierra Breitsprecher, each of who had two RBI. On the mound, Eryn Luzum had six strikeouts in seven innings.

The Warriors took on Crestwood on Tuesday; however, results and statistics were unavailable at press time. The Warriors are set to return to action Saturday in a tournament at Dunkerton.
