(LE MARS)  — Holly Schneider’s two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted Le Mars to a 10-9 Lakes Conference softball win over Spencer Monday night at the Bulldog Complex.  Spencer rallied from five runs down in the top of the seventh on six hits and a pair of Le Mars errors to tie the game at 8-all, sending the contest into extra innings.  The Tigers went ahead 9-8 in the top of the eighth before Schneider capped a 4-for-5 night with her first home run of the season.  Schneider, playing in her first game after missing a week of the season, finished with three RBI’s.  Her RBI single started a five-run fourth inning.  Madison Heidebrink followed with a two-run double and Kassidy Rieken drove the final run with a single after a run scored on a error.  Both teams scored a run in the fifth and Le Mars took an 8-3 lead into the top of the seventh before Spencer rallied in the  seventh inning.  Rieken pitched all eight innings to get the win in the pitching circle, surviving a 16-hit Tiger attack.  Le Mars improves to 16-and-13 for the season and 6-and-3 in the Lakes Conference.

Le Mars 2, Spencer 0

(LE MARS) — The Bulldogs’ “Big Game Pitcher”, Colan Borchers, answered the call again Monday night for coach Eckstaine with a one-hit, eleven strike out performance as he pitched Le Mars to a 2-0 win over Spencer in Lakes Conference baseball action at the Bulldog Complex.  The top two teams in the league were battling for first place in the Lakes Conference.  Le Mars improves to 8-and-2 with the victory while Spencer slips to 6-and-3 in league play.  Borchers lost his no-hit bid when Blake Illg led off the seventh inning with a solid single to right.  Borchers got a ground out and a pair of strike outs to strand the base runner at third.  The only other base runner for Spencer was a lead-off walk in the third.  Illg’s single was the only ball that left the infield off the Tiger bats.  Borchers also drove in the first run of the game on a fielder’s choice in the first inning that plated Keaton Candor from third base.  Candor delivered the second run with a two-out, RBI single in the fourth.  Candor and Mitch Timp had two hits each to lead the Bulldogs’ six-hit attack against losing pitcher Brady Illg.  Illg walked three and struck out seven.  Le Mars evens their record at 10-and-10 while Spencer falls to 11-and-5.  The Tigers had beaten the Bulldogs 10-9 back on June 11th.

Western Christian 6, Le Mars 5, nine innings

Gehlen Catholic 11, Hinton 3

(HULL) — A misplayed infield popup that the wind affected allowed the winning run to score from second base in the bottom of the ninth inning and Western Christian edged Le Mars 6-5 in a Lakes Conference softball game Monday night in Hull.  Crystal Eppling’s RBI single and Kassidy Rieken’s sacrifice fly gave Le Mars a 2-0 lead in the top of the first.  Tarin Van Tol’s three-run homer in the bottom of the first put the Wolfpack in front 3-2.  Summer Jansen made it 4-2 with a RBI single in the third.  Ellie Meade’s two-run single in the fourth for Le Mars tied the score at 4-all.  Le Mars took a 5-4 lead in the top of the seventh on a safety squeeze by Jessica Van Otterloo.  However, Western tied the game in the bottom of the seventh on a two-out infield hit by Brittany Buren.  The loss drops Le Mars to 16-and-14 for the season and 6-and-4 in the Lakes Conference.

(LE MARS) — The Gehlen Catholic Lady Jays avenged a one-run loss at Hinton in early June with an 11-3 pounding of the Blackhawks Monday night at the Riverview Complex in Le Mars.  Gehlen scored seven runs in the first two innings and never looked back while collecting eleven hits.  Taylor Peters had a RBI single in the first and a three-run homer in the second inning to finish with three hits and four RBI’s.  Paris Schroeder also had three hits for the Lady Jays.  Meghen Heying checked the Blackhawks to three hits with no walks and two strike outs.  Gehlen improves to 15-and-14 for the season and 10-and-7 in the W-E-C.

Sioux Center 14, Le Mars 12

(#5-1A)Remsen St. Mary’s 6, (#3-1A)Gehlen Catholic 0

(LE MARS) — Sioux Center overcame a 10-0 deficit after three innings to beat Le Mars 14-12 Tuesday night in a non-conference baseball match-up at the Bulldog Complex.  The Bulldogs scored seven runs in the third inning to open up a ten-run lead and seemed headed to a ten-run rule verdict.  The Warriors scored eleven runs in the next three innings to take an 11-10 lead going into the seventh and added three more runs to their lead in the seventh.  Le Mars rallied for two seventh inning runs but the rally fell short.  Mitch Timp had two hits and two RBI’s for Le Mars and Matt Ellefson added a pair of hits and one RBI.  Cameron Leff had a three-run double for the Bulldogs.  Graham Zommermaand homered for Sioux Center and  Dylan Vant Hoff had two hits, including a triple, and three RBI’s.  The Warriors outhit the Bulldogs 12-8.  Le Mars falls to 10-and-11 for the season.

(GRANVILLE) — Jacon Wesselmann threw a four-hit shut out and Andrew Pottebaum belted a two-run homer to lead No. 5 (1A) Remsen St. Mary’s to a 6-0 win over No. 3 (1A) Gehlen Catholic Monday night in Granville in a showdown of northwest Iowa baseball powers.  Elliott Conover keyed a four-run second inning with a two-run single off losing pitcher Ryan Stoll.  Pottebaum unloaded his homer in the fourth to give Wesselmann more than enough run support.  Ty Kurth, who worked the final two innings on the mound for Gehlen, led the Jays with two hits, including a double.  Gehlen’s 14-game winning streak ended with the loss, dropping the Jays to 19-and-2 for the season and 10-and-1 in the War Eagle Conference.  The Hawks improve to 20-and-4 for the season and 13-and-1 in the W-E-C.

(CHEROKEE)  — Cherokee stunned the Le Mars Lady Bulldogs 4-3 Wednesday night in Lakes Conference softball action in Cherokee.  A two-out, two-base error in the fifth set the table for a tie-breaking RBI single by Lindsay Williams to put the Braves in front 4-3.  Williams earned the pitching win with 2 2/3 inning of shutout relief.  She retired the final eight batters of the game as Cherokee improves to 9-and-19 for the season and 5-and-8 in league play.  Sophomore Kalin Hardyk limited the Braves to four hits with three walks and five strikeouts but two errors led to two unearned runs.  Crystal Eppling, Kassidy Rieken and Jessica Van Otterloo had RBI hits for Le Mars.  The key moment in the game came in the fifth when Van Otterloo tied the game at 3-all with a hit that loaded the bases with one out and Madison Heidebrink and Crystal Eppling scheduled to hit.  Williams got both to pop out on the infield to end the threat.  Le Mars falls to 16-and-15 for the season and 6-and-5 in league play.
