Hoffman, Lobdells lead Dragons to rout of Meadville

Kiersten Hoffman belted three home runs in Warrens' 16-0 win over Meadville.
MEADVILLE — Warren banged out five home runs, including three by Kiersten Hoffman, en route to its first win of the season, Thursday, 17-0 over Meadville.
Julia Lobdell capped a 4-for-4 day with her first high school homer, a two-run shot in the top of the first after Lex Nyquist doubled. Lobdell had five RBI to lead Warren, and Nyquist was 3-for-4 with four RBI. Ellie Lobdell also finished 4-for-4 with a home run and three doubles.
Ellie Lobdell also threw five perfect innings, striking out 10 for the Dragons (1-1).
All of Hoffman’s homers were solo shots, and she walked and scored her fourth run in the fifth.
The Dragons had 13 extra-base hits.

Julia Lobdell connected for her first high school home run and drove in a team-high five runs in the win over Meadville.
“We had good at-bats,” said Warren coach Jon Sitler. “Not just because of the home runs or extra-base hits, but we went up to the plate with a better plan than on Tuesday. Lex (Nyquist) and Julia (Lobdell) also had long at-bats, fouling off several pitches, before working walks. We were aggressive early in the count, but in our zone, and patient out of the zone. It’s a better start.”
Warren also rolled to a 24-0 JV win.
Five players – Alex Neureiter, Morgan Munksgard, Alix Lytle, Ellee Irwin and Rylie Yeager
