Sometimes after turning in a remarkable performance, there’s a bit of drop-off.

For Lucy Fearday? Not so much.

Two days after throwing a perfect game and not allowing a single base runner against Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City, the St. Anthony pitcher was in a slightly more generous mood Wednesday against Altamont.

This time, she allowed one base runner.

Abby Goeckner’s single in the fifth was the only Lady Indian to reach base in Fearday’s five innings of work.

Meanwhile, Fearday’s teammates provided more than enough support, en route to a 7-0 win at home.

Fearday’s control has been exceptional. For the second straight outing, she didn’t allow a walk. She did strike out three. Addie Wernsing pitched the final two innings and only allowed a walk.

The Lady Bulldogs scored all the runs they needed in a four-run first inning. Cameron Rios walked, went to third on a base hit by Wernsing and scored on a bunt by Hailey Niebrugge. A walk and an error then loaded the bases and Stacey Vonderheide cleared them with a double.

It stayed 4-0 until the fourth when St. Anthony tacked on four more. Vonderheide singled to lead off the inning. Then with two outs, Rios had an RBI single, Wernsing followed with a run-scoring double and Niebrugge capped the inning with a base hit to drive Wernsing in.

The Lady Bulldogs improved to 12-6. They will play at home today (Thursday) against Windsor/Stew-Stras.

St. Anthony 14, Flora 5

The Lady Bulldogs erupted for nine runs in the opening inning Tuesday, en route to a 14-5 win at Flora.

St. Anthony combined 10 hits and two walks to push nine runs across the plate. Maddie Kibler had a three-run homer in the inning. Kibler finished with 4 RBI in the game, while Hailey Niebrugge had three hits and drove in three runs.

The Lady Bulldogs finished with 17 hits. Lucy Fearday and Cameron Rios also had three hits.

Wernsing pitched the first three innings to get the win. She allowed two hits and a run. Stacie Vonderheide pitched the final four innings.
