GAYLORD, MI - The Alpena Softball team got strong pitching performances from Emma Fraser and Jade Schultz in a convincing two-game sweep of Gaylord on Thursday afternoon. Fraser threw a complete game shutout in game one with nine strikeouts. The Wildcats blew the game open with a six-run second inning and added six more for the 12-1 win. Fraser also had a big game at the plate with three hits and Jade Schultz contributed as well with a home run.
Game two was much of the same for Alpena as they scored three runs in the opening inning and four in the second inning in their 11-1 win. Schultz and Nikita Cordes each went deep for the Wildcats who hit three home runs in the two-game series. Schultz started the game in the circle going four innings and was relieved by Lilly Lewis.
Alpena (7-2, 2-0 BNC) travel to the Saginaw Heritage Tournament on Saturday.
