The bats popped for the Mountain Lake Area-Comfrey (MLA-C) girls softball squad as they nailed down another post-season win, this time over Mankato Loyola in the second round of the Section 2A fastpitch tourney, defeating the Crusaders, 9-6.

Molly Carnell pitched all seven innings, collecting 27 first-pitch strikes and a pair of strike-outs, compiling a 1.57 WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched).

Carnell and Hailey Pidde had strong plate appearances on the game; Carnell brought in a trio of RBIs and Pidde, two. Each girl also had a pair of hits.

Wolverine Taylor Naas had three, and Jordan Boldt two, Quality At Bats (QABs).

The Crusaders struck first in the bottom half of third, scoring two runs. MLA-C responded in their top half of fourth with four runs of their own, and never relinquished the lead. The Wolverines added three in the top of the fifth and two in the sixth.

The Wolverines play in the semi-finals tomorrow (Satuday, May 27) in Mankato, facing Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s.
