Hitting their stride is exactly what the Sigourney softball team is doing winning eight straight including a couple victories in the middle of the week. 

The bats were as hot as the weather outside on Tuesday when the Savages beat Pleasantville in a wild one by a 12-11 score. Trailing 11-10 in the seventh, Sigourney managed their second walk-off in a week this time coming on a Courtney Hemsley single and a throwing error that brought in the winning tally. The offense had 17 hits with Hemsley finishing 3-for-5 with two RBI. Carly Goodwin, Macy Fisch, and Josephine Moore also brought in a pair of runs. The next night, the black and gold cruised to a 12-4 win over South Iowa Cedar League foe Lynnville-Sully. Hemsley stayed red hot at the dish going 4-for-5 with two RBI and Goodwin plated three runners. The sophomore Goodwin tossed a complete game in the circle without an earned run and surrendering just five hits while striking out 11. The Savages improve to 14-3 overall and 10-1 in the SICL. 

It’s been the first bout of adversity for the Sigourney baseball team this week losing their first three games of the season including back-to-back one run contests. Just like the softball game, the matchup against Pleasantville was also a 12-11 score, but this time favoring the road Trojans. Sigourney did record 12 hits with Levi Crawford going 3-for-4 with three RBI and Cade Streigle brought in four runs. The next night they dueled Lynnville-Sully and despite leading 7-0 in the second, the Savages could not keep up the momentum and fell 8-7 after a five run Hawks sixth frame. Bo Schmidt was 2-for-2 with two RBI and threw five innings on the mound giving up five earned runs on five knocks. The No. 7 Dons of Don Bosco invaded town last night with the road squad coming out with a 12-0 win in six innings. Sigourney drops to 11-3 overall and 9-1 in the conference.
