Lady Hornets pitchers combine for no-hitter

Subhead
The Wautoma Lady Hornets coasted to a 15-0 victory in four innings versus the visiting Mauston Lady Golden Eagles. People would have thought for sure there would be no game due to the constant rain throughout the day. However, a combination of sand country and the amazing efforts of Jeff Stahl and Luke Kulibert hours prepping the field allowed for the game to take place on a beautiful evening for softball. Wautoma racked up seven runs in the first inning on an Ava Stahl walk, Brianna Buechner walk, Ava Butt two run single, Bryn Gunderson single, Cieslik bunt RBI single, Braelynn Pica walk, Kendall Gustke walk and Liv Weiss RBI fielder’s choice single. The Lady Hornets swept eight bases in that inning. Wautoma would plaster seven more runs in the second inning on a Buechner walk, Sydney Dunn reaching on an error, Butt walk, Cieslik walk, Pica walk, Gustke RBI single, Weiss single and Stahl grand slam in-the-park homerun to create a 14-0 score. Wautoma would put the final touches on in the fourth on a Larissa Piechowski single, Bella Smith walk and Liv Weiss one-out RBI single for the 15-run rule. Liv Cieslik, Larissa Piechowski and Ava Butt combined for the no-hitter with Cieslik two innings, 3 K’s; Piechowski one inning, 2 K’s and Butt an inning with a K. The Hornet bats tallied eight hits with Weiss (2x3, 2 RBI’s, run), Stahl (1x2, HR, 4-RBI’s, 2 SB’s, 2 runs, BB), Butt (1x1, 2 RBI’s, 2 runs, 2 BB’s, SB), Gunderson (1x3, RBI, SB, run), Cieslik (1x1, RBI, 2 runs, walk), Gustke (1x2, RBI, 2 SB’s, 2 runs). The Lady Hornet softball team improved to 7-4 and 2-0 in the SCC.
