Softball stings Chargers in throwback game

It was an impromptu throwback day for the Glencoe-Silver Lake softball team on Tuesday, April 16. Despite sun-soaked conditions, a mucky home field at GSL High School prompted a move back to the team's former home at Oak Leaf Park.
The Panthers celebrated the move – and a chance to play on a sunny and warm afternoon for the first time this season – by swamping visiting Dassel-Cokato 10-2 to head into the Easter break with a spotless 3-0 record.
GSL starting pitcher Brianna Wraspir tossed another gem, allowing just four hits and two earned runs over seven innings while striking out eight and walking none.
Her battery mate, catcher Kasidy Cacka, had a monster day in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with four RBI and a run scored. Cacka went opposite field on both of her big hits, smacking a bases-clearing double in the second inning before driving in another run on a triple in the fourth.
First baseman Kaitlyn Uecker also drove in GSL's final two runs of the contest on a two-out hit in the bottom of the sixth.
Miranda Litzau was 2-for-3 with three runs scored, while Hannah Boesche was 2-for-5 with two runs scored. Wraspir walked three times in the game, leading to two runs being scored by courtesy runner Kaylee Lemke.
The Panthers took their 3-0 record on the road for a game at 2-2 New London-Spicer on Tuesday, April 23, after the Chronicle went to press.
The Wildcats finished off last week with a 15-11 win at D-C on Thursday, April 18. GSL swept NLS last season, winning a doubleheader on the penultimate day of the regular season.
The Panthers remain on the road through the end of the week, traveling to Mound Westonka on Thursday before playing a doubleheader at Rockford on Friday.
GSL is scheduled to host Annandale in a twinbill beginning at 4 p.m. Monday afternoon. That double-dip was originally slated to be played back on April 11, but was postponed due to a snowstorm.
