After allowing an early four-run lead slip into a five-all tie, the Swanton Lady Bulldogs scored 11 unanswered runs and blanked the Liberty Center offense the rest of the way to beat the Lady Tigers 16-5 on Monday afternoon in Liberty Center in the first NWOAL game of the year.
Down 5-1 entering the bottom of the third, the Lady Tigers rallied for four runs against Swanton starter Beyla Remer to bring them even at 5-5. With one out still remaining, Bulldog coach Lauren Yoder brought in reliever Alexis Faber who quickly shut down the rally. Swanton regained their composure scoring three runs in the top of the fourth, one more in the fourth and put the game away with five runs in the sixth inning.
Carli LaGrange helped power the Bulldog offense with three hits and four RBIs. Faber also had three hits and scored four times, Lacey Shinaver scored twice, had two RBIs on three hits, Remer had a double and two singles and scored the go-ahead run in the fourth inning. Cara Ludlow knocked in three runs with a single and a double and Jordyn Ramirez had a single with two runs scored. Payton Glonek had two singles and two RBIs. In the circle, the win went to Faber who threw 4.1 innings giving up just one hit and zero runs with three strikeouts.
The Lady Bulldogs improve to 10-2 on the season and 1-0 in the league. Their next NWOAL contest is at home on Thursday against the Evergreen Lady Vikings (6-3/1-0).
