Swanton sophomore Cara Ludlow banged out three hits, including two doubles, drove in four runs and scored three times as the Lady Bulldogs picked up a road win with a 16-4 run-rule victory over the Pettisville Lady Blackbirds on Tuesday afternoon.  Leading 2-1 heading into the top of the third inning, Swanton broke the game open with four runs in the frame, added another seven scores in the fourth and three more in the fifth to lead 16-3 going into the bottom of the inning.  Pettisville did tack on one more run but was unable to reduce the deficit to under 10, invoking the mercy rule after five innings.

Beyla Remer tossed four innings for the Bulldogs allowing four hits and three runs, one earned, with six strikeouts and zero walks.  Other Swanton hitters with big days at the plate included Adriana Milligan-Elliot with two hits and four RBIs, Kinley Curtis with three hits and two runs, Carli LaGrange with three hits and three runs, Lacey Shinaver with three hits, including a triple, and two runs, Jordyn Rameriz with two hits and two runs and Alexa Faber with two hits and one run.

Macy Hoylman pitched all five innings for the Blackbirds giving up 19 hits, 16 runs, 15 earned, three walks and two strikeouts.  Hoylman led Pettisville with two hits, one walk, one RBI and one run scored.

The win was Swanton’s third in as many games.  They are home tomorrow to face the Springfield Blue Devils of the Northern Lakes League.  After a 17-15 loss to the Wauseon Lady Indians earlier today, Pettisville’s record stands at 0-2.  They will next take on the Montpelier Lady Locomotives next Tuesday, 3/31, at home.
