The Softball team closed out the regular season on the road on Friday night in an exciting and down to the wire game. The matchup at NorthWood featured a little bit of everything in the extra innings game. Adams ended up victorious, defeating the Panthers 8-7. Adams’ bats were hot as they collected 15 runs in the game. Adams took the lead early on. Alivia Redman singled in the first inning to give the eagles the early 1-0 lead. A big third inning helped propel the Eagles even further. Abby Kadar hit a homerun to drive in 2 runs and just a few minutes later, Audreyanna Gizzi homered as well with two runs batted in of her own. The fourth featured a groundout from Redman to bring in another run and another run batted in from Gizzi to give Adams the 7-3 lead. NorthWood would tie the game in the bottom of the 6th but Adams did not give up. A single from Mackenzie Miller was enough to do it with a single to score a run in the 8th inning. Kadar earned the victory in the circle, allowing only 1 run off of 2 hits and struck out 8 batters. The Lady Eagles will be back on the field on Wednesday when they play Michigan City in the IHSAA Sectional Tournament —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Adams vs NorthWood @ NorthWood JA 104 200 01 8 15 4 NW 002 014 00 7 5 1 AB R H RBI Julia McNellis 5 2 3 0 Mackenzie Miller 5 2 2 1 Abby Kadar 4 2 3 2 Alivia Redman 4 1 2 1 Audreyanna Gizzi 3 1 2 3 Claire McNally 5 0 1 0 Brooklyn Young 3 0 0 0 Kaylee O’Brien 3 0 2 0 Gabby Vandeweille 1 0 0 0 Gabby Jacobs 3 0 0 0 Brayah Williams Winston 1 0 0 0 Team 37 8 15 7 HR Kadar, Gizzi 2B O Brien 2, Redman TB Kadar 6, Gizzi 5, O Brien 4, Redman 3, McNellis 3, Miller 2, McNally HBP Gizzi, Young SB Kadar, McNellis CS McNellis E McNally 2, Kadar, Elicia Keb Pitching IP H R ER SO Kadar 4 1 2 2 8 Miller 4 4 5 1 3 8 5 7 3 11 W Kadar WP Kadar 2 HBP Kadar 2
