The Becker girls softball team played Hermantown Saturday and Foley Tuesday and came away with two huge wins.

 

Becker 12, Hermantown 7

Saturday at home, Becker took on the #3-ranked Hermantown Hawks on Senior Day.  

 

The Hawks got on the board first with two first inning runs, but the Bulldogs answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning to make the score 3-2.  

 

Kaylyn Wiehle and Megan Hoppe each had RBI base hits in the inning.  

 

The Bulldogs added two more in the second and solo runs in the third and fourth to move ahead, 7-2.

 

The Hawks made the game interesting with a three-run homer in the fifth to make it 7-5, but Becker came right back with three more runs in the bottom of the inning to go up by five.

 

Hermantown again made things compelling when they scored two more in the sixth to make it 10-7.  Becker iced the game with two more to close out the contest, 12-7.  

 

Sydney Lamott went 2-for-4 with two doubles. Corrie Weise was 3-for-5, Megan Hoppe was 4-for-4, and Tina Martell went 3-for-3.  

 

Brianna Corey picked up the win on the mound, going five innings while Corrie Weise came in for the final two innings and got the save.

 

Tuesday, the Lady Bulldogs wrapped up their regular season with a win over Foley by six runs.  

 

Becker got on the board immediately with two runs in the top of the first inning.  A Weise double was the big hit.  

 

The Falcons got one back in the bottom of the inning, but the Bulldogs added two more in the third, one in the fourth and two in the fifth to capture the win.

 

Corey got the win, going the first four innings with Weise closing things out in the final three innings.

 

Becker finishes the regular season with a record of 14-6 and 8-1 in the Granite Ridge Conference.  They tied Cathedral for the conference championship.

 

Seeding for the Section 5AAA playoffs will be revealed Sunday, but it’s all but certain the Bulldogs will be the #2 seed and host the #7 seed (likely Willmar or Dassel-Cokato) Tuesday afternoon.  

 

If Becker wins Tuesday, they will host another game Thursday afternoon.
