Softball roundup: RCW/BOLD Jaguars win a pair rally style

MADISON — The Renville County West/BOLD softball team completed two comebacks to earn a pair of wins against Lac qui Parle Valley in what was an almost perfect Tuesday with weather in the low 80s and slight winds.

RCW/BOLD took Game 1 with a 10-5 victory. Then in Game 2, the Jaguars earned a 5-3 win to complete their sweep of the Eagles in a Camden Conference doubleheader.

With the wins, RCW/BOLD improves to 12-3 in the conference with a 13-3 overall record. LQPV falls to 8-5 in the conference and 9-5 overall.

In Game 1, RCW/BOLD trailed 5-4 entering the seventh inning. Then the Jaguars rattled off six runs in the top of the frame and allowed zero runs in the bottom half.

Shay Skold singled and an LQPV error scored Hope Hendricks. The next at-bat, Delaney Tersteeg hit a two-run home run over the center field fence and the Jaguars added their final three runs off a bases-clearing, two-run single from Abby King. Kaitlyn Flann scored RCW/BOLD’s final run on another Eagles’ error, which reached seven by the game’s end.

Tersteeg finished Game 1 going 2-for-4 with a triple alongside her home run with four RBIs and two runs. Laila Ridler went 2-for-4 with a double, one run and an RBI.

For LQPV in Game 1, Jalyn Lee and Ayanna Gipson each had a double. Lee went 2-for-4, adding a run, and Gipson was 1-for-3, tacking on an RBI and a walk.

In Game 2, LQPV got out to another early lead, leading 3-0 after the top of the first inning. Taylor Shelstad scored on a wild pitch. Then, Madelyn Matthies grounded out on a fielder’s choice that scored Jalyn Lee and Kendyl Shelstad.

But, RCW/BOLD quickly responded with three runs of its own in the bottom of the first to tie the game at 3-3. Ridler hit a two-run RBI single, where she advanced to second, scoring Skold and Tersteeg. Ridler later tacked on the Jaguars’ third run after stealing home.

RCW/BOLD added two more runs in the second inning. Tersteeg hit an RBI double to score Skold and Ridler, on the at-bat, singled to score Tersteeg to give the Jaguars a 5-3 lead that stood.

Flann earned a pair of wins in the circle for RCW/BOLD. In Game 1, she allowed eight hits and zero earned runs, striking out five and walking two. In Game 2, she pitched six innings in relief of Mackenna Hinderks. She allowed six hits, zero walks and zero runs with six strikeouts.
