LE MARS — Brooke Woerdehoff got Savannah Ameen to ground out with the bases loaded to end a seventh inning threat and Gehlen Catholic held off Lawton-Bronson to win 9-8 in the 1A Regional softball opener for both teams Wednesday night at the Riverview Complex. The Lady Jays took a 9-7 lead into the last of the seventh. The Eagles put their first two batters on base with a single and a error. Woerdehoff got a flyball to left and a fielder’s choice force out at third base before giving up a single to load the bases. Kylie Horsley singled up the middle to make it 9-8 before Ameen grounded to third baseman Harley Foreman who stepped on the third base bag for a game-ending force out. Foreman keyed a four-run first inning for Gehlen with a two-run single. Lawton-Bronson battled back to take a 6-5 lead after four before the Lady Jays struck for three runs in the fifth on a game-tying single by Elliotte Herbst and a go-ahead two-run double by Addison Weber. The Eagles trimmed the 8-6 deficit to 8-7 with a run in the bottom of the fifth before Gehlen padded their lead to 9-7 with a bases-loaded walk to Herbst in the sixth. Woerdehoff started the game and worked 2 2/3 innings before Whitney Schrader took over for 2 1/3 innings. Woerdehoff came back in to pitch the final two innings to earn her first save of the season while Schrader got her first career win. Savannah Ameen took the loss. Anna Britt led a 12-hit Gehlen attack with three hits while Lexi Sobieski had four hits and three RBI’s for Lawton-Bronson.

HARTLEY — Gehlen Catholic had only four hits Thursday night but they bunched three of them into a four-run fourth inning and the Lady Jays advanced to the region two semifinals with a 6-2 win over Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn. Gehlen took advantage six H-M-S errors, three of which also happened in the fourth inning. Kennedy Heying’s RBI single started the scoring with three more runs scoring on wild throws.

LE MARS — Le Mars scored four runs in the first two innings and then held off Storm Lake’s late-game rally to beat the Tornados 4-2 Thursday night in the 4A Regional quarterfinals at the Bulldogs Sports Complex. The victory sends Le Mars to a Saturday night semifinal round match-up with No. 6 Bishop Heelan at Riverside Park. Christina Konz doubled home a first inning run for Le Mars and RBI singles an inning later by Annie Ellis, Brooke Haage and Jenn Schneider gave Brook Berkenpas all the run support she’d need on this night. Berkenpas limited the Tornados to five hits while pitching into the sixth inning. She ran into difficulties in the sixth and turned the ball over to her cousin Kali Berkenpas who closed out the victory with 1 2/3 innings of one-hit shutout relief after Storm Lake had scored a pair of runs. Brooke Haage led a ten-hit Le Mars attack, going 4-for-4 and scoring two runs. Le Mars improves to 13-and-18.

RIVERSIDE — Sophomore Brook Berkenpas picked a perfect time to toss her first shutout of the season — the Regional semifinals against No. 6 Bishop Heelan. Le Mars stunned the highly-favored Crusaders 2-0 Saturday night at the S-Y-A Complex in Riverside. Berkenpas was in control all night long against a line-up that was hitting .396 and had hit 24 home runs during the regular season. She never allowed more than one runner per inning and finished with a three-hitter with no walks and three strikeouts. Berkenpas retired the final nine batters to breeze through the usually troublesome late innings in her previous starts this season. Le Mars scored in the second inning on a well-executed safety squeeze bunt by Katelyn Raymond that plated Grace Milbrodt from third base. The Lady Bulldogs added their second run in the third on a single by Christina Konz. Senior Lexi Ricke took the loss despite allowing just five hits with one walk and seven strike outs. Jenn Schneider had two hits to lead Le Mars. The Lady Bulldogs improve to 14-and-18 and play Sergeant Bluff-Luton Tuesday night in Sergeant Bluff for the Regional title and a spot in the 4A State Tournament field. Game time will be at 7 p.m. with coverage on KLEM beginning at 6:50.
