The Sigourney summer teams welcomed BGM for South Iowa Cedar League action on Friday with baseball and softball rolling to victories. 

Coming off three straight losses, the Savage baseball squad ended a busy week on the right note with an 11-5 win over the Bears. They led 6-3 in the sixth when the Savages busted the game open with a five run frame that paved the way for a decisive victory. The offense had 13 hits led by Bo Schmidt going 3-for-3 with two RBI and Cade Molyneux brought in three tallies. Levi Crawford was the winning pitcher tossing 6 1/3 frames surrendering four earned runs on six hits and striking out five. The black and gold improve to 12-3 overall and 10-1 in the SICL. 

The Sigourney softball team was off and running with a six run first inning and they flexed their muscles in an 11-1 win. They sprayed 11 knocks around the diamond with Madi Richard going 3-for-3 with one RBI and Courtney Hemsley brought in three runs. Josephine Moore threw all five frames giving up just one run and one hit. The Savages had a bump up in competition over the weekend competing in the Oskaloosa tournament and they fell in a pair of games to No. 5 in 4A Norwalk by a 4-1 score and No. 4 in 3A West Burlington by a 7-5 tally. Moore collected two of the team’s four hits against Norwalk and Goodwin twirled 5 2/3 frames surrendering four runs on six hits. Moore added a pair of doubles in the Falcons’ game and threw four innings giving up three earned runs on six knocks. The Savages are now 15-5 overall and 11-1 in the conference.
