Lady Dragons get back in win column

Warren got back in the win column with a 9-2 non-region win against visiting Mercyhurst Prep on Monday.

It starts a week of four straight games, including at Harbor Creek on Tuesday, that leads into the District 10 Class AAA playoffs.

Alexis Nyquist came through with a two-out, two-run single to start the scoring for the 11-5 Dragons.

After MP tied things up in the top of the third inning, Ellie Lobdell’s three-run triple to right-center field gave Warren a cushion. Celia Chase then scored courtesy runner Morgan Munksgard on a suicide squeeze for a 6-2 lead.

Grace Wortman began the bottom of the fifth with a triple and Chase scored her with a double. Julia Lobdell beat out a bunt to push Chase to third and she scored on Nyquist’s RBI groundout.

Warren finished the scoring in the sixth when Chase knocked home Gracie Wood.

Megan Wortman was 3-for-4, Wood 2-for-4, and Chase 2-for-3. Chase, Ellie Lobdell and Nyquist had three RBI each.

In the meantime, Ellie Lobdell allowed two hits and struck out 10 for the win.

“We are trying to turn the corner this week, leading into the playoffs, and it was great to see and hear all of the positive support from a packed Legion complex,” said Warren coach Jon Sitler.
