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

all had three RBIs to lead the offensive outburst. Lytle also belted her first high school home run. Multiple hits were recorded by Mackenzie Engebretsen, Katie Madigan, Neureiter, Munksgard, Lytle, Irwin, Yeager, and Meredith Morrison. Kelsey Stuart struck out eight in three innings, allowing just one hit.

Warren returns to action on Saturday, weather permitting, at home against Erie at noon.
