Beating the Braves

From Lisa Golden

The Wyoming bats came back from a vacation against league rival Indian Hill on Monday to give Katie Lewis her first high school victory.  Erin Campbell had a 2-run triple then scored on a passed ball to give the Cowboys a 3-0 lead in the first.  In the second, Madeline Juergens was walked followed by single by Reagan Raymer followed by Ally Golden's RBI single.   Olivia Munneke then ground out but earned an RBI by knocking in Reagan Raymer.  By the end of the Wyoming run, the Cowboys lead 5-0 going to the bottom of the second.

MJ started the game on the mound and pitched a 1-2-3 first, but left in the bottom of the second with bases loaded, one out and the lead cut down to 5-2 - Enter Katie Lewis.  Katie's first pitch was lined to Reagan who double off the runner at third to end the threat.  Indian Hill scored two runs in third to make the score 5-4.  Sara Washienko, running for Katie who reached on an error, scored the effective game winner on a single by Olivia, her second hit and second RBI of the game.  Indian Hill responded with their fifth and last run in the bottom of the fourth.  Wyoming finished their scoring on Reagan's double (her third of the game) to score courtesy runner Sammy Campbell (her second run scored) from first.

Wyoming defense bent, but didn't break, stranding 5 runners in the last three innings.  The game ended on a spectacular diving catch by Erin Campbell with the tying run on first.  By the end of it all, Wyoming won, 7-5 in 7 innings.
