The Panthers and Wolves didn’t let the
weather force them to miss out on a pair of
competitive ballgames Monday in the rain-
drops at Delton Kellogg High School.
The Delton Kellogg varsity softball team split
it’s non-conference doubleheader with the Wyo-
ming Wolves, with the Wolves scoring a 9-4 win
in the opener and then the Panthers taking a 5-
win in a wetness-shortened game two.
A triple by Alli Brandli was the only hit for
Delton Kellogg in the game two win, but three
walks and a couple Wyoming errors helped the
Panthers move girls around the base paths.
The two teams scored a run in each of the
first three half innings of game two, with the
Wolves up 2-1 when Brandli led off the bottom
of the second with her triple over the right
fielder’s head. Abby Wooden walked behind
her and a ground ball by Kasey Kapteyn got
Brandli home to tie the game.
Wooden went to third on a miscue by the
Wolves’ third baseman, and then scored on a
ground out by teammate Cadence Johnson to
put the Panthers in front 3-2.
A pair of Wyoming errors after a lead-off
walk by Abby Fichtner in the bottom of the
third for DK started the Panthers on their way
to two more runs without the benefit of a hit.

and scored two runs. Paige Thomas also had
an RBI for DK in the win.

out two, walked two and gave up four runs inthe four-inning contest. One of the two runs
against her was unearned.

first inning and controlled game one from start
to finish.
DK had three singles in the opener, one each
for Fichtner, Jordan Lyons and Allie Trantham.
Lyons had her team’s lone RBI.
The Panther had runners on the base paths
thanks to eight walks. Fichtner was 1 for 2 at
the plate with her single, but also walked twice
and scored three runs. Mya Brickley walked
twice too. Johnson scored one run.
Brickley started in the circle for DK and
allowed three earned runs on five hits and
three walks through the first five innings. She
struck out three. Wyoming scored three
unearned runs in those first five innings.

two innings on four hits and a walk. She struck
out two.

a run in the fifth and then two in the bottom of
the sixth of game one to get the 7-6 victory.
A two-run home run by Thonas in the bot-
tom of the sixth pushed the Panthers into the
lead. She was 2 for 4 with two runs and two
RBI’s in the win.The other two Delton Kel-
logg hits were a single by Fichtner and a dou-
ble from Kapteyn. Fichtner scored two runs,
