Rams drop two at Treynor tourney

Glenwood fielding miscues led to a combined 12 unearned runs as the Rams dropped a pair of games at the Treynor Softball Invitational Saturday.

The Rams (11-9 overall, 6-6 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference)

"Unfortunately, we really struggled on defense today," said Glenwood coach Tom Horton.

Glenwood dropped a decision to Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln 6-0 and then was bested by the host Cardinals 13-4.

Jacy Embray was credited with the game one loss after scattering four hits and one earned run in four innings.

Lyndie Van Ness took the loss to Treynor, allowing six earned runs.

Glenwood 14,

C.B. Thomas Jefferson 2, 3 innings

The Glenwood softball team downed Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson 14-2 in three innings Friday.

Lyndie Van Ness scattered three hits and two earned runs while fanning five in the victory.

At the plate, Jacy Embray drove in four runs and Ashley Hirt and Molly Dean drove in two more.

Cyclones sweep Rams

Harlan smacked a combined 22 hits in a pair of Hawkeye 10 Conference victories over Glenwood Thursday.

The state rated Cyclones took game one 5-3 before pulling out an 11-10 victory in the nightcap.

Glenwood struggled defensively on the night with nine of the Cyclones’ 16 runs coming unearned.

“Unfortunately, the story of the night was too many fielding errors,” said Glenwood coach Tom Horton. “We had plenty of opportunities to put both games away and struggled to make the routine plays.”

Abbie Schultz and Myranda Starner each had two hits in the game one loss. Starner tripled and drove in two runs.

Lyndie Van Ness was credited with the loss in the circle in game one.

In game two, Harlan plated 10 runs in the third inning and led 11-6 after four before the Rams nearly rallied, coming up a run short of sending the game into extra innings in the seventh.

Starner was 3-for-4 in game two with three RBIs and two stolen bases.

Bailey Rumery took the game two loss in the circle. The sophomore allowed eight hits and four earned runs.

Creston 7,

Glenwood 1

Haylee LeMaster’s limited Glenwood to four hits and struck out six as Creston downed the Rams 7-1 in Hawkeye 10 Conference softball last Tuesday.

Creston blew open a 1-0 game with two runs in the fifth and four more in the sixth to pull away.

Glenwood recorded four hits in the loss, just one going for extra bases.

"I'd like to give create to LeMaster for executing her game plan very well,” said Glenwood coach Tom Horton.  “She was able to get ahead in the counts and then move to her rise ball.  She did a great job of keeping our hitters off balance."

Jacy Embray smacked her fourth home run of the season to score Glenwood’s lone run.

Lyndie Van Ness took the loss in the circle, scattering seven hits and allowing four earned runs.
