Escaping the cold and snow, the Wood River High School softball team rode their eight-game winning streak with a win in Jerome before losing Game 2 of a road doubleheader to the Tigers on Saturday. .

The Lady Wolverines took a narrow 11-9 win in Game 1 but then lost Game 2 in a shutout, 15-0.

Wood River (12-5, 4-2 Great Basin Conference 7) is now on the home stretch of its season with just six games left.

Wood River and Jerome (7-5-1, 1-4 GB7) were slow to warm up in the opener of Saturday’s double dip before the Lady Wolverines made their comeback and held the Tigers in the seventh to secure victory. .

There were no runs in the first three innings, but Wood River broke the deadlock with two runs in the top of the fourth. Jerome then added four points to take a 4-2 lead in the fifth. Wood River responded with three runs to take a 5-4 lead.

After the sixth inning, the game was tied 6-6 before the start of the seventh.

At the start of the inning, Wood River almost closed the door to Jérôme by scoring five points to reach 11 on the game. Freshman Makinzie Nelson played the entire game on the mound and ended any threat of a Jerome comeback despite the Lady Tigers making three runs in the seventh to take the lead.

Nelson (5-0) went seven innings and allowed 10 hits and eight earned runs while striking out 10 batters. At home plate, she went 2 for 5 with a run scored.

Perfect at the plate, junior Grendel Sprong went 4 for 4 with three runs, while senior Caroline Seaward went 2 for 4 with two RBIs and a run.

Junior Bella Hadam (3 for 5, two RBI), senior Olivia Adams (1 for 3, two RBI), senior RaeAnne Sloane (2 for 4, one RBI) and senior Devon Peterson (one run, one RBI) led Wood River offensively.

Along with 17 hits, Wood River was aggressive on base again, setting up four stolen bases in Game 1. Those stolen bases belonged to juniors Kacie Flolo, Sprong, Seaward and Sloane.

Game two was a different story. Jerome blanked Wood River for the first time this season.

The losing pitcher in Game 2 was Seaward (4-3).

Up next for Wood River is a home doubles match against Mountain Home on Thursday, April 21. Game 1 starts at 3 p.m., followed by Game 2 right after.
