DW COMBINE-The DW softball team won both doubleheader games played at Pomeroy on March 28. After giving up 11 runs in the first inning to Pomeroy, the Wolfpack came back and tied the game 11-11 in the top of the second inning and pulled away for good with five runs in the third inning to win the game 25-14.

Kamryn Tupling was the winning pitcher, allowing six hits, six runs, and striking out three.

Shaylah King had four hits, and Hendrix Groom led the Wolfpack with three stolen bases.

In the second game, the Wolfpack won 20-17. Peyton Struckmeier drove in four runs on three hits: a home run in the first inning, a double in the second, and a triple in the third. Pitcher Madison Gallardo earned the win for DW. She went seven innings, allowing 16 runs on 15 hits, and struck out three. Groom had seven stolen bases.

DW dropped two games to visiting McLoughlin on Thursday, March 30. In the first game, the Wolfpack only connected on two hits in the 12-2 loss. Tupling took the loss, allowing seven hits and striking out five. McLoughlin's ace pitcher struck out ten and walked one. King and Struckmeier had the hits for DW.

The Wolfpack connected on 13 hits in the nightcap but watched the game slip away early and could not recover in a 14-9 loss. The highlight was scoring four runs in the sixth inning from singles by Teagan Culley and Lila Hutchens, a triple by King, and a double by Groom.

Madison Gallardo took the loss for DW, surrendering 14 runs on seven hits and striking out four. Hutchens had three hits in four at-bats.

The Wolfpack will take a 4-2 record against Desales on April 11 in Dayton.
