WESTON – D.C. Everest pitcher Addison Kluck outdueled Marshfield’s Katelyn Sternweis on the mound as the Evergreens posted a 1-0 win in a Wisconsin Valley Conference softball game Tuesday at D.C. Everest High School.

Kluck struck out 11 without a walk and allowed just one hit to earn the pitching win for D.C. Everest (6-2, 4-0 WVC).

Kluck took a no-hitter into the seventh when Shylah Brogan led off with a single. She was able to retire the next three batters to finish off the shutout.

Sternweis gave up just four hits and also did not walk a batter, allowing a single run in the sixth inning as she took the hard-luck loss for Marshfield (5-7, 2-2 WVC).

D.C. Everest had three-straight singles to start the bottom of the sixth inning and Dakota Witucki’s groundout plated Kelsey Meverden with the game’s only run.

Marshfield will be at home for a doubleheader against Merrill on Thursday beginning at 3:30 p.m.
