Dani Klassen: Dodge City played 4 games this week. The first 2 against Labette were a test to see how good they are this year. Labette is one of the stronger teams in the league and handed Dodge 2 loses, 8-0 and 6-5. Dodge then faced Coffeyville. What can I say here but for those of you who follow western history and have heard of the Shoot Out at the OK Corral which allegedly happened in Dodge City, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday would be proud of these girls as Dodge won both games with scores of 16-11 and 21-18. That’s right, there’s a new Sherriff in town. This brings Dodge City’s record to 19 W and 18 L. Dani continues to hover around the .500 mark at bat and has 5 stolen bases on the season.
Hailey Unger: MITCHELL, S.D. – The three-day blizzard in Mitchell and the state of South Dakota has set spring sports back at Dakota Wesleyan University and forced changes in most all sports schedules for the coming days and weeks. The Tiger softball team canceled a nonconference doubleheader at Dakota State scheduled for Saturday, April 13, in Madison. That game was originally scheduled to be played Wednesday, April 10, was pushed back to Saturday and is now canceled. DWU also pushed back its GPAC doubleheader against Mount Marty College for the second time. The game, originally scheduled for April 9, was pushed back to Monday, April 15, and has been pushed back once more to Monday, April 22, at McWhirter Field in Mitchell.
Makensy Payne: Dodge City’s pitching staff is hurting, but the team still managed to score enough runs to split the week with 3 wins and 3 losses, putting them in the middle of the conference standings. Crash, now the regular shortstop, did her part, batting 10 for 18 plus 2 walks. Carmen and some friends were there to see her doing some solid fielding, including an impressive diving stop and flip for an out on Friday, and some consistent hitting, including a five hit day with her second home run of the season on Saturday.
Regan Lawrence: Dickinson Blue Hawks lost the entire week's games due to the weather and the coming week looks grim. The Hawks sit at 14 wins and 13 losses, and Regan's pitching record is 4 wins and 4 losses.
Taylor Studler: All scheduled games were cancelled due to poor weather except for 2 JV games Thursday which Minot won convincingly. Taylor set a new personal record being hit by pitches 3 times!!! serious snowstorm hitting Minot now so who knows if any games will be held this week!
