Bluejays Blast Crush (9-19-11)

Ashland-Greenwood 12, Cass County Central 3
Ashland-Greenwood used strong pitching, timely hitting and a shakey C4 defense to upset Cass County Central, 12-3, on the Ash Grove Field.

The Bluejays (6-11) erupted for four runs in the top of the first inning when the first three Ashland-Greenwood batters recorded hits. Another Bluejay hit and three Crush errors aided in the early 4-0 deficit.

Cass County Central scored their only runs of the game in the bottom of the first inning on one hit, a single by Malanie Gist, and three Bluejay miscues as the Crush scored three runs to get back within grasping distance.

But the three Ashland-Greenwood first-inning blunders were the only misfires of the game as the Bluejays settled down and played solid defense behind sophomore pitcher, Kelsey Gonzales. The Bluejay offense continued to roll, highlighted by a three-run home run by Bailey Toovey in the second inning. Ashland-Greenwood tallied three unearned runs in the third and a pair of runs in the fourth on a Logan Finkey single to account for their dozen runs.

Sophomore pitcher LeighAnn Novotny suffered the loss, giving up five earned runs in her two innings of work. Heather Hauschild came on to pitch the final three innings, allowing two earned runs while striking out five Bluejays.

The Crush (10-7) travel to Bennington to take on Class B’s top-ranked Badgers, who enter the game with a 17-0 mark.
