A short-lived winning streak

Hawks drop 2 straight after win over WB-M

A road trip to West Bend on June 22 proved to be a successful one for Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn. Thanks to two big scoring innings, the Hawk softball team defeated West Bend-Mallard, 12-1.

"The girls played a great game with no errors," said Hawk coach Stephanie Bronstad. "They came out hitting the ball and executing their defense."

A three-run double by Gracie Knobloch capped a five-run first inning. Elly Klein and Abby Kunzman also drove in a run. Taya Mason singled in the second inning and scored on a wild pitch to increase the lead to 6-0.
