Northeast Nodaway played two forgettable ballgames, then recovered to beat Pattonsburg 13-1 to claim 7th Place at the North Andrew Tournament held Wednesday and Saturday.
The Maryville game was not competitive as NEN gave up 11 walks, uncorked three wild pitches, and had two errors and passed balls in the 11-0 loss as Maryville scored in all four innings before the game was called due to the 1:15 time limit. Nobody got any hits, and only three Bluejays reached base in the carnage.
That put Northeast into a consolation semifinal game with Albany. But after showing some life against Albany, they gave up 12 runs in the third inning and fell via the 15 run rule.
Albany teed off on Northeast in the first inning after they could not score in the top of the frame. Four hits, two wild pitches, two walks, and four stolen bases later, Albany was up 4-0 as the Warriors batted around in the inning.
Blair Stoll started off the scoring for Northeast in the second as she tripled off the right field wall and came home on a wild pitch. Angela Standiford had a long at-bat, fouling off four different pitches, before finally getting on with a pop fly base hit. Delaney McIntyre doubled off the right field wall to score Standiford, but was out trying for third to keep Albany’s lead at 4-2.
The first of two Gabby Newman home runs put Albany back up 6-2, but Northeast answered in the third when Blair Stoll doubled off the wall in right to score Maggie Schmitz and Paige West to make it 6-4.
But then an uncalled pop fly proved costly in the third as Sierra Anthony reached safely, Kaycee Messner reached on a bunt single, and Kaycee Messner hit a three run blast to send Albany on their way, raising their lead to 9-4. Riley Houts and Gabby Newman flied out, but had the uncalled pop fly been caught, that would have been the third out. As it stood, the next nine Albany batters reached safely thanks to six hits, two walks, and one error, capped by Newman’s second home run of the game to make it 18-4. Albany scored again in the fourth to end it on the 15 run rule.
Northeast could have very easily folded and lost again, as they had to turn right around and play Pattonsburg without any break. But they came out and played much better in that game, cutting down on the walks (3), errors (1), and wild pitches (1) as they won their final game 13-1. The Bluejays got their fourth win of the year and their second against Pattonsburg. They won three out of their last five with the victory.
NEN got their first four runs in the first as they teed off on Panther pitcher Jaden Gannan. Makayla Adwell singled to center, stole second, and came home on Maggie Schmitz’s single to center. She stole second and then Paige West hit a hard shot off third baseman Jillian Plymell to shortstop Shaila Cramer; by the time she got the ball corralled, there was no play. Anne Schieber scored and Schmitz scored on a wild pitch. West scored on a wild pitch, and Angela Standiford reached on Plymell’s throw in the third as Schieber scored to make it 4-0.
Pattonsburg got one run back in the second as Quincy Crone doubled home Cramer to make it 4-1.
But then Makayla Adwell hit another shot off Plymell’s glove at third for a scratch hit and Maggie Schmitz and Paige West walked to load the bases with one out. Anne Schieber got a scratch hit, beating out a slow roller to Crone at second as Adwell scored. Maggie Schmitz scored for the second time on a wild pitch, Blair Stoll reached on an error to score West, Angela Standiford reached on another error to bring home Schieber, and Cassy Redden doubled to left center field to score two more to make it 10-1.
NEN continued to add to their lead in the third and fourth, scoring in every inning. In the third, Maggie Schmitz scored on a wild pitch to make it 11-1. In the fourth, Angela Standiford singled and Cassy Redden walked. They went to second and third on a wild pitch, and Kiersten Morrow grounded out to short to score Standiford. Makayla Adwell singled to left to make it 13-1.
