The Sigourney Savages stayed perfect in conference play in both baseball and softball with home wins Wednesday. Sigourney baseball kept up their undefeated start to the season by rolling past HLV 17-6.

While the Savages allowed four runs in the top of the first inning, they countered by scoring five times in each of the first three frames and slowing up the Warriors from there on their way to ending the game in five innings.

Cole McKay and Brady Clark each hit a double and had three hits for Sigourney while combining to score seven runs. Fellow senior Isaac Bruns also hammered a double and finished with two hits, four runs scored and three runs batted in.

Chase Clarahan drove in three runs on a double and scored once and fellow sophomore Ike Molyneux had a pair of runs batted in on a double of his own, but it was pitcher Hunter Sellers who played maybe the biggest role of all.

In addition to throwing the first four innings on the mound, the freshman had a team-high four base hits and three RBI as the Savages, ranked second in the state in Class 1A, raise their record to 11-0.

Sigourney softball won 10-9 but was in a battle with HLV/Tri-County all game long, as even after scoring three runs in the second inning and four in the third to take a 7-3 lead, the Warriors cut the deficit down to one with three runs of their own in the fourth and took the lead in the sixth.

But the Savages would match that with three runs of their own in the seventh and would earn a walk-off victory. Freshman Devyn Smallwood led the lineup with three hits, including a double, and scored a run, while eighth-grader Kinsley Clubb also clubbed a double as part of two hits and four runs batted in.

Freshman Ella Bruns and eighth-grader Kiley Cavin each had a double and a run scored for Sigourney, while Izzy Green smacked a double on her way to an RBI and joined fellow freshman Abyl McCulley in having two hits and one run scored each.

Senior Dani Aller added two runs driven in on one hit as the 14th-ranked Savages remain undefeated in the South Iowa Cedar League and improve to 8-3 overall. Both Sigourney squads return to the diamond tonight against Montezuma
