The No. 4 ADM softball team won both of its games Friday in Roland in the opening day of the Roland-Story tournament, defeating Mount Vernon 4-1 in the afternoon and AGWSR 5-0 at night. Junior starter Molly Jacobsen was again dominant, allowing just one earned run on six hits with 17 strikeouts and no walks in 13 innings over the two games. Below is a quick recap of each contest:
Game 1: #4 ADM 4, #14-Class 3A Mount Vernon 1
The Tigers beat the No. 14 team in Class 3A using an opportunistic offense that scored three of its four runs without the benefit of the hit. Gabbie Glenn lead off the ballgame with a walk and later scored when Jacobsen reached on error. Jacobsen added a two-out RBI double to score Glenn in the third, and ADM (14-3) tacked on two more runs in the fourth in an inning that featured two walks, two hit batters and Mt. Vernon’s second error of the ballgame, as Lexi Wyant and Emma Jacobsen scored, the latter as a courtesy runner for Kila Carbine. ADM needed just three hits total to score its four runs.
Game 2: #4 ADM 5, #1-Class 1A AGWSR 0
ADM dispatched the top-ranked team in Class 1A behind Jacobsen, who allowed just two hits. ADM’s 2-3-4 of Kate Collins, Jacobsen and Kenzi Sutton did the damage offensively, comining to go 6-9 with four runs scored all five RBIs. Jacobsen and Sutton both homered, with Jacobsen adding a double.
ADM took a 2-0 lead in the third on Jacobsen’s third homer of the year, a one-out shot to right-center that scored Collins, who had singled. Sutton then made it 5-0 tigers on her fourth long ball of the year, a three-ran blast to left after a single by Collins and Jacobsen’s double.
Tournament play resumes at 4 p.m. Saturday.
