If you are a fan of pitcher duels, Schafer Field was the place to be on Monday when the No. 9 Sigourney softball team picked up a walk off 1-0 victory over Colfax-Mingo in 12 innings. 

The marathon affair saw both hurlers going toe-to-toe with Sigourney’s Carly Goodwin taking a perfect game into the seventh and the Tigerhawks (5-3) Kylie Doty only scattering a couple hits. The scoreless tie was no more when Josephine Moore led off the bottom of the 12th with a walk-off blast that sent Savage fans home happy. That was the freshman’s second hit of the game and the team’s seventh of the night. Goodwin was sensational in the circle delivering an astonishing 25 strikeouts in the 12 innings of work surrendering just two hits and one hit batter in 150 pitches. The sophomore currently leads class 1A with 119 strikeouts in 10 games. They improve to 7-3 overall and 6-1 in the South Iowa Cedar League. 

The baseball game did not have as many fireworks, but the result stayed the same with a Savage victory by a 10-5 score over the Tigerhawks (3-3). The undefeated Savages put up nine runs in the first three innings and cruised the rest of the way finishing with nine hits led by Max Phillips going 3-for-3 with three RBI. Cade Streigle recorded a single and a double with two RBI. Jake Moore got the win tossing 2 1/3 innings giving up four runs on two hits and Clay Morse threw three innings without an earned run on one knock. The No. 10 ranked Savages turned around and downed North Tama last night 6-3 in their first game being ranked in over 20 years. They improve to 8-0 on the campaign.
