Softball
Woodmen edged by No. 1 Dragons
Greenwood went into New Palestine on Monday — where the hosts, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, hadn’t lost in over three years — and jumped on the Dragons early. But an early lead didn’t hold up, as the Dragons roared back to win 9-8 on a walk-off home run.
The Woodmen led 6-0 in the second inning after an Allison Hayes grand slam and kept the high-powered Dragons offense in check through six innings, leading 8-4 heading into the bottom of the seventh behind a strong pitching performance from pitcher Karlee Denham.
New Palestine opened the seventh with a single and a walk, then blasted a three-run home run to pull within one. A single and a sacrifice bunt put a runner in scoring position before the Dragons’ Tatum Biddle ended the game with a home run.
Greenwood had nine hits on the day and were led by Hayes, who had a double, home run and the four RBIs. Alexis Rees and Kiley Hankenhoff each added two hits for the Woodmen.
Edinburgh’s Clark tosses no-hitter
Maddi Clark threw her third no-hitter of the season and struck out 11 batters without a walk as Edinburgh coasted to a 10-0 win over Waldron on Monday.
Sidney Beier and Paige Burton each drove in two runs and Clark scored three for the Lancers (13-7, 11-1 Mid-Hoosier).
Rebels win handily
Jordan Jenkins got the pitching win and contributed four hits and two RBIs in Roncalli’s 14-5 victory over Greenfield-Central on Monday.
