Northeast Nodaway held off a frantic OSHS rally to win 9-8 Thursday to complete a sweep of the Wildcards. Rylee Scadden, only a freshman, went three for three, stealing two bases and hitting a double. Bristol Hicks had two hits and Paizlee Norman, Blair Nelson, Addi Thummel, Aubrey Fetters, and Ashlynn Kennard had one each. Besides Scadden, Bristol Hicks and Mylee Wilmes swiped bases.
Addi Thummel got the win, finishing the game and only walking two batters.
Northeast Nodaway took advantage of 11 errors by the Wildcards. They made six, but made enough outstanding plays to preserve the victory.
At first, it looked like OSHS would run the Bluejays right out of the field, taking advantage of three Bluejay errors to go up 1-0 after one. The Wildcards teed off on Thummel in the second, getting four hits, and taking advantage of another error to make it 4-0.
But then Northeast scored eight runs in its half of the second, all with two outs. Rylee Scadden scored on an error after getting on with a bunt hit, but it looked like the Wildcards would get out of the inning up 4-1. But then Ashlyn Kennard got the biggest hit of her life and singled to keep the inning going, turning it over to the top of the inning. Paizlee Norman and Blair Nelson singled to load the bases and Mylee Wilmes reached on an error as Norman and Kennard scored to make it 4-3. Bristol Hicks singled in Blair Nelson to tie it at 4-4. Mylee Wilmes scored on a passed ball to make it 5-4 and Addi Thummel singled in Hicks to make it 6-4. Thummel went to second on a passed ball and Aubrey Fetters' pop fly. OSHS attempted to cut down Thummel, but the ball got away from the catcher and Fetters took second. Rylee Scadden showed her muscle as she doubled in Fetters to make it 8-4.
The Wildcards started chipping away, getting a run in the third on a passed ball to cut it to 8-5.
Northeast got a run in the fourth, once again with two outs. Rylee Scadden walked to keep the inning going after getting to 2-2. Scadden stole second and third and Piper Gray reached on an error to score Scadden to make it 9-5.
In the Wildcard fifth, they scored three runs with two outs as they got two doubles, a single, and an error to make it 9-8 and Northeast was clinging by their fingernails the rest of the way.
Northeast ran its way out of a potential big inning in the sixth, but then the Wildcards ran their way out of a big inning in the seventh and came away emptyhanded. First of all, they led off with a walk and took second on a wild pitch, only for Bluejay shortstop Paizlee Norman to double her off after snaring a line drive. Then, the Wildcards had a runner called out for offensive interference to end the game.
