KINGSLEY — Sophomore Rylee Schnepf struck out 13 batters and allowed just two base runners on a fifth inning error and a bunt single with one out in the seventh to guide Gehlen Catholic to a 5-0 1A Regional quarterfinal victory over Kingsley-Pierson Wednesday night in Kingsley. Schnepf retired the first 12 batters of the game before an error opened the fifth inning. Then retired another seven batters in a row before Avery Schroeder beat out a bunt up the first base line. Junior Rachel Bohle for Kingsley-Pierson was matching Schnepf’s pitching performance, carrying a one-hitter into the fifth inning. The Lady Jays sent eleven batters to the plate in the fifth, getting three singles in a row after two were out, then five walks, a passed ball, a wild pitch and a botched run-down led to five runs. Bases loaded walks to Tiffany Woerdehoff and Addison Weber put Gehlen in front 2-0. Sydney Livermore scored on a passed ball and Woerdehoff dashed home on a wild pitch. Weber got caught off third base but beat the run-down to score the final run of the inning. The victory avenged a 12-2 loss to K-P in the Westwood Classic last month. Schnepf and Alyssa Kolbeck were missing from the Lady Jays lineup when the two met last month. Gehlen Catholic improves to 10-8 for the season and will play No. 15 River Valley (19-2) at Correctionville Friday night at 7 pm in the Regional semifinals. Kingsley-Pierson’s season ends at 11-7.
