ONALASKA — The Loggers committed a few too many errors for coach Ken Ulery’s liking, but managed to overcome the misues in both ends of a 14-4, 12-9 Central 2B League softball sweep of Mossyrock here on Monday.
Onalaska led 12-2 after two innings in the opener, which lasted just five innings. Nicolle Duryea went 3 for 3 with 2 RBIs, McKenna Ulery went 3 for 4 and drove in 3 runs, Alicia Vint went 3 for 4 and Gracie Sherwood had two hits and knocked in 3 runs.
Gabby Wright held the Vikings to four hits in Game 1, despite five errors behind her.
“We’ve got to play some better defense still, but I thought she threw the ball really well,” Ulery said. “They got on base a bit, and put the ball in play, and we made some errors that we’ve got to clean up.”
Shayne Fried went 2 for 3 with a double for Mossyrock.
The nightcap was a bit closer, with Mossyrock out-hitting Onalaska 14-9. The Loggers, though, plated 7 runs in the sixth inning to overcome a 9-5 deficit and held on for the win.
Sherwood went 2 for 2 and drove in 2 runs, while Ulery was 3 for 5 with 2 RBIs. Vint added two hits.
“Give credit to Mossyrock. They came out and put the ball in play and had to make plays,” Ulery said. “They came out swinging, and we were kind of flat the second game.”
Jamie Carlson went 3 for 4 for Mossyrock in Game 2, while Eva Nelson was 2 for 4.
Onalaska (8-6 league) will play at Pe Ell-Willapa Valley on Wednesday. Mossyrock (2-12 league) will play at Winlock on Wednesday.
