Faribault Softball Falls to State Powerhouse in a Battle
The Winona Winhawks are a perennial superpower in Class 3A fastpitch softball. Monday night the Faribault Falcons gave them all they wanted in competitive game.
The #4 ranked Winhawks pulled away late to win 5-1. The Falcons took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning at North Alexander Park in Faribault on a Rylee Sietsema double that scored Regan Dregenberg.
That score held up until the 5th inning when Winona plated 2 runs. Olivia Poulin homered and singled for two runs batted in.
Sietsema might have grown tired toward the end of the contest. The senior pitcher threw 135 pitches, 81 strikes with 4 strikeouts, 5 walks, 7 hits allowed over the 7 innings.
Lauren Kreckow pitched for Winona, allowing 4 hits while striking out 7 and walking 1 batter.
Winona was aggressive on the basepaths, achieving six stolen bases.
Sietsema had two hits and Olivia Smith and Jamie Adamek smacked the others for the Falcons.
