Lomira took control in the fifth inning with an Izzy Westpahl double and a Trista Gassner single to help get the bases loaded for the Lions.
Gassner and Buske scored on a ball hit by S. Frea to give the Lions a 10-0 lead before Bloohm hit her second two-run home run of the game, with her blast going over the center field fence to expand the Lomira lead to 12-0.

Caspary controlled the Omro hitters with her pitching by striking out 11 batters during her four innings pitched in the game.
“We are so proud of this team, with their grittiness, and they battled this season so far by continuing to be in the moment, focusing on one game at a time,” said Head Coach Stacey Clark. “The Flyway Conference is tough, with each game being a challenge, and this is a huge accomplishment for our program, and we can’t wait to see what’s next. Go, Lions!”
