sigourney

Nothing but wins greeted the Sigourney summer teams this weekend with both squads sweeping a South Iowa Cedar League doubleheader against Montezuma on Friday and the softball team running through a tournament on Saturday. 

Fresh off of a walk off grand slam on Wednesday, No. 10 Savage baseball didn’t need the late drama against the Braves (0-8) rolling to a 15-2 victory in five innings. They put up a five spot in the first and second innings that paved the way for a short night. Eight different batters compiled 16 hits led by Levi Crawford going 4-for-4 with one RBI and Cade Molyneux brought in three runs on three hits. Ty Shafranek was 3-for-4 and Isaac Bruns collected three RBI. Jake Moore and Clay Morse combined to go five innings on the hill surrendering no earned runs on five hits and eight strikeouts. The unblemished record stays intact at 10-0 and 8-0 in the SICL. 

Carly Goodwin tossed another gem in the circle against the Braves (2-10) en route to a 3-0 softball win. The sophomore threw a complete game shutout giving up just two hits, no walks, and striking out 13 batters in 77 pitches. The team scored once in the fifth and twice in the seventh with 11 hits altogether led by Josephine Moore going 3-for-4 with one RBI. Rain Barthelman and Ava Fisch each had a pair of hits. The No. 10 Savages got a couple signature wins the next day at the Eddyville-Blakesburg tournament downing EBF 9-5 and Davis County 4-2. Darby Mitchell brought in three tallies on a pair of knocks in the Rockets (9-6) win and Moore picked up the win in the circle tossing five frames surrendering five runs on six hits. Against the Mustangs (10-3), Goodwin twirled a five hitter without an earned run in five innings of work. The bats scattered 10 hits with Courtney Hemsley going 2-for-2 with two RBI. The black and gold improve to 11-3 overall and 8-1 in the league.
