MARSHFIELD – The Marshfield softball team spotted Wausau East an early lead before exploding for 18 unanswered runs to ease to an 18-3 win in a Wisconsin Valley Conference game Monday at Madison Field.
A pair of errors held East take a 3-0 lead after 1½ innings before Marshfield finally got to Lumberjacks’ pitcher Tristen Young.
The Tigers scored six times in the second inning with the help of two errors, an RBI single by Shylah Brogan and an RBI double by Madison Kraus.
Taylar Weis had an RBI triple and Ashlyn Barwick knocked her in as the Tigers scored three times in the third before they put the game away with a nine-run fourth.
Lydia Garvin hit an inside-the-park two-run home run, four runs scored without a hit as the Tigers loaded the bases and walked twice, were hit by a pitch and East committed an error. Garvin’s two-run single ended the game due to the 15-run rule.
Marshfield (5-2, 2-2 Wisconsin Valley Conference) hosts first-place and undefeated D.C. Everest (7-0, 4-0 WVC) on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at Madison Field.
