Image
  Today a change of plans took me to Millersport High School to watch the Lakers tangle with the Wellington School out of Columbus. I was told by a parent that the Jaguars were missing four girls from sickness to drama club practice. The Lakers got busy in the bottom half of the first inning, scoring three runs. Emma Raver got things started with a single to make this a 1-0 game. Kendyl Bonkowski hit an RBI triple to make the score 2-0. Bonkowsi would do a lot of her damage on the mound, where she fired a complete game no-hitter. Scarlet Sheets made it 3-0 with a single. The Lakers went back to work in the bottom half of the 2nd inning with Claire Haney drilling a single to drive in the Lakers fourth run.

  (The Kilbourne roster had no positions for the players.) (Great job by Kilbourne for having their stats up on Maxpreps.com.) Tonight Worthington Kilbourn (5-10) was supposed to host Dublin Scioto (6-1), but weather-related field conditions forced the game to be moved to Scioto. Scioto jumped out in front 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning on a sac fly from Lyla Magnussen A single by Maria Wasko later in the inning gave the Irish a 3-0 lead. An error in the 2nd inning put the home team up 4-0. The game would be blown open in the fourth with Scioto erupting for 9 runs to go up 13-0. Lyla Magnussen struck again with an RBI single, making this a 5-0 game. An RBI triple from Avery Reynolds increased the lead to 8-0. Gigi Rodriguez made it a 10-0 game with a hard single. An error allowed the 10th run to score. Gina Wasko and #Lyla Magnussen plated the final 3 runs.Wasko  had a double and Magnussen had a single.
