Maidens end week 

with upset

 

RONAN – With errors plaguing the Maidens defense, Ronan pulled just one win out of four games. On Thursday, Ronan split with Loyola-Sacred Heart. In game one the Maidens held fast bringing the Lady Rams into extra innings, but three errors logged in the ninth enabled Loyola to score five runs and take the win over the Maidens 8-13. Despite the loss, putting the bat on the ball was not an issue for the Maidens as they came away with 10 hits. Kendra Starkel swung big, going 3-5 with a triple and putting up yardage with a home run. 

In game two the Maidens shied away from the errors and went big with the bats toppling Loyola-Sacred Heart 13-2 in five innings. Jordyn Clairmont and McKenzie Dulmes each went 3-4 with Clairmont driving in three RBIs and Dulmes landing a triple. Alaina Madsen grabbed the win from the circle.

On Saturday the Maidens traveled to Florence to take on the Lady Falcons, ending in a two game blowout crash for the Maidens. Game one proved to be the better of the two with the Maidens falling 7-13 to Florence. Dulmes and Courtney Taylor each put up home runs for the Maidens, but with no one on base, each ended in just solo runs. 

Game two in Saturday’s romp left the Maidens in a state of distress as they were unable to string together hits, scoring just three to the Lady Falcons 17. The Maidens squeaked out just four hits total scoring in only one inning of play.

The Maidens will host Columbia Falls April 24 and will compete in the Frenchtown tournament April 25-26. A trip to Eureka to take on the Lady Lions is planned April 28.
