While the Sigourney softball team was busy punching their ticket to state, the baseball squad made it an all around solid evening for Savage nation when they took care of business in a first round district game downing Winfield-Mt. Union 11-1. 

The Savages wasted no time jumping on the Wolves by plating five in the first and they restarted the offense in the fourth with four tallies.  The back-breaker came in the fifth with two more runs crossing the plate for the mercy-rule victory. The offense peppered 10 hits in the five frames with Cade Streigle going 2-for-4 with four RBI. Cade Molyneux brought in three on a pair of knocks and Levi Crawford went 2-for-3 with one RBI. Josh Mohr did more than enough on the hill tossing all five innings giving up just one run on two hits, two walks, and striking out five. Jacob Ford and Cole Milks recorded the two hits for the Wolves. 

Sigourney Head Coach Lee Crawford loved the energy in the first. “It was nice to see us jump on them early and we really hit good pitches in the zone. The kids did a nice job base running as well, they really hustled and had some fun.”

WMU closes the season 2-23 and they bid farewell to two seniors in Ford and Luke Pfeiffer. Sigourney improves to 18-5 and have a quick turnaround tonight facing off with Burlington Notre Dame at home for the district semis with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. The Nikes are 12-12 and upended Moravia last night in the first round by a 7-3 score.
