Following its 10-9 walk-off win against Wahkiakum on April 22, the Naselle Comets softball team took a tough 12-5 at Ilwaco last Thursday, April 24. The Comets were led by Avrey Ford, who knocked in two runs while collecting two hits and scoring a run. Maddie Dielman, Jessie Smith, Brooklyn Leggett, and Brooke Davis each had two hits, and Dielman, Smith, Leggett, and Jaylee Bonk scored a run each for the Comets in the losing effort. From the mound, Ford took the loss for the Comets, striking out four over four innings while allowing nine earned runs and giving up six walks.
The Comets recovered Monday in their home win against Oakville. Putting up nine runs in the first inning, another 10 in the second, and four in the third Naselle was able to pull off the mercy-rule victory two innings early, finishing off Oakville 23-8. The team's lone senior, Evelyn Norman was celebrated Monday and did some celebrating herself after her solo home run to left field in the first inning.
The Comets (6-4) hosted Lake Quinault Tuesday, but the results of the game were not available at the time of press. Still 2-0 in 1B Coastal District play, Naselle will travel to Lake Quinalt on Friday, May 2, to complete the "home and away" trip against their district counterpart.
