Two runs in the first, combined with stellar defense and pitching kept Central Elkader providing a threat to the Turkey Valley softball team in the first round of the Class 1A Region 7 action Friday.
The Trojans took a 13-19 record to Troy Mills Wednesday in round two as they faced second-ranked North Linn (33-6).
Central Elkader finished the season with a 7-17 overall record.
Doubles by Olivia Snyder and Maici Weber in the first frame, along with a single by Alison Leibold gave the Trojans a 2-0 lead. Central took one back in the second on a Trojan throwing error, but from there the Trojan defense got back on track and only allowed three Warrior baserunners. Meanwhile, TV added four runs in the third with Morgan Vsetecka driving in two on a double. Six runs in the fourth closed out the game by the mercy rule.
In the circle, Sierra Morris earned the win with three strikeouts.
Leibold was 3-for-3 with two RBI, while Snyder and M. Weber were 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles each. Vsetecka had two hits, including one double and drove in three runs.
“It was a great team effort and the best we have looked all season,” said Coach Alvin Hackman.
