Gladstone Beats Raindrops, Manistique In Districts
GLADSTONE---The Manistique Emeralds and Mother Nature had one thing in common on Thursday: neither could stop the Gladstone Braves girls softball team. Gladstone spotted Manistique a run in the first inning, but dominated from there, posting a 16-2 victory at the Gladstone High School fields. The game was stopped after 4 1/2 innings due to the mercy rule, and after a 45-minute rain delay in the third inning. This was the first game of a very large MHSAA Division Three district tournament, with nine teams included. The Braves will host another play-in game next Tuesday. The second inning was a big one for the Braves, with Sam Sailer, Tasi Martinez, and Kaitlyn Hardwick all getting run-scoring singles. The inning was capped by a two-run homer off the bat of Taylor Hunter...and off the roof of a truck parked behind the fence. The Braves' winning pitcher was Jenna Steinhoff. Bre Richer took the loss for Manistique. Click the thumbnails in the ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS box above to see photos and videos from Tuesday's district tournament game. |
