Maroa-Forsyth Blanks Monticello in Regional Girl's Softball Action

Marina Rohman threw seven scoreless innings and Maroa-Forsyth blanked Monticello 4-0 in semifinal Regional girl’s softball action Thursday in Forsyth.

 

Rohman worked out of trouble in the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings for the shutout. 

 

The Lady Sages best scoring chance came in the third when Addison Wallace walked with one out then Hannah Ubinger reached on an error when she tried to sacrifice Wallace up a base. The ensuing throw to first went high allowing Wallace to move up to third and the throw to third allowed Ubinger to take second.

 

But Mackenzie Daniels popped out to second and Lizzie Stiverson grounded out to end the threat.

 

After a long at-bat with Avery Oberheim in the second inning, Ella Mann roped a double to centerfield to score Payton Roberts who doubled to lead off the inning. 

 

Mann brought home the Lady Trojans' second run in the fourth inning with a groundout to shortstop. Jaden Corley doubled to start the inning. Roberts singled and took second on a throw home that kept Corley at second base, setting up first and second with nobody out. 

 

Zoey Clark fouled out to catcher Josie Nelson before Mann’s RBI groundout. Stiverson perhaps saved two runs scoring on the Mann groundout diving to her left and made a heads-up play to throw to first instead of try for the throw home. 

 

Oberheim looked like she was on her way out of trouble but Reese Tirpak singled to left setting up first and third with two outs. Kaylee Yost blooped a two-strike single to shallow right field to score both base runners, making the score the final 4-0. 

 

Corley, Roberts, and Mann all finished 2-for-3 for the Lady Trojans.

 

Stiverson finished 2-for-3 for the Lady Sages. The Lady Sages finish the season 15-15 overall.

 

Maroa-Forsyth travels to Tuscola for the Regional title tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.
