Vs Campbellsport
On May 8, Lomira softball defeated Campbellsport 3-0 on youth night with a no-hitter from senior Nora Buske.
Lomira (14-3, 9-2) took an early l-0 lead over Campbellsport (8-10, 4-7) in the second inning, thanks to a single to right by Lillian Christian, which was followed by Eleanor Collies hitting her single to right field to drive in Christian.
The Lions added two runs in the third inning, featuring an RBI double by Taylor Bloohm and a sac fly by Christian to increase Lomira’s lead to 3-0 over the Cougars.
The three runs was all the Lions would need for the 3-0 win due to a dominating no-hit performance from Buske by striking out 19 Campbellsport Cougars during her impressive outing for the seventh shutout of the season for Lomira. It was also two days after Buske was hit in the shin, causing her to leave the pitching circle against Laconia.
Vs Laconia
On May 6, Lomira softball beat Laconia 5-2 at home to have a three-way tie at the top of the Flyway Conference.
Lomira’s (16-3, 9-2) starting pitcher, Nora Buske, was hit in the shin while pitching in the first inning and had to be replaced by Haleigh Caspary against Laconia (15-5, 9-2).
“We faced a bit of adversity with Nora getting hit in the shin, but our team rebounded with our defense sticking together to support Haleigh, who came in to pitch a great game,” said Head Coach Stacey Clark.
The Lions hit four doubles in the third inning to fuel their offense to score four runs, highlighted by a two-run RBI double hit by Taylor Bloohm to take an impressive 4-0 lead over the Spartans.
“We had a lot of patience at the plate, seeing many pitches which allowed our hitters to attack good strikes,” said Clark.
Laconia hit a two-run home run to close the gap in the game to 4-2 in the top of the fourth inning, but Lomira got one of those runs right back thanks to a Savanna Frea RBI single to push the Lions’ lead back to 5-2 at the end of the fourth inning.
Caspary struck out 10 Spartan batters, and the Lions’ defense held the Spartans at bay for the next three innings to claim the key 5-2 conference victory.
The Lomira offense was paced by Savanna Frea and Nora Buske combining for five hits in the win.
“It was a great night to play softball. We executed our game plan by focusing on the little things like passing the bat and having a lot of energy,” said Clark.
Lomira softball hosted Mayville on May 13. Then the Lions travel to Omro on May 15 at 5 p.m. and to KML on May 16 at 4:45 p.m. Finally, Lomira will host Springs on May 19 at 5 p.m.
