GRUNDY CENTER – Grundy Center baseball's defense made enough plays to fight back an AGWSR rally for an eight-inning victory, 4-3, at the George Wilhelm Sports Complex on Wednesday night.
 
In the eighth inning, Jensen Clapp's hustle in right field snagged a shallow fly ball that prevented AGWSR from breaking the tie with runners on the corners. That led to the bottom half of the frame, where Travis Kuester took a leadoff walk, moved to second on a ball put into play by Marshall Day and Brayden Sawyer delivered the game-winner on a base hit scoring Kuester from second.

CONRAD - The unbeaten NICL West campaign continued for the BCLUW softball team, escaping with a narrow 1-0 win over AGWSR.
  
An unearned run in the host’s half of the third inning was the game winner. BCLUW’s Parker Scurr coaxed a base-on-balls to begin the at bat, took second and third with sac-bunts by Kiersten Kruse and Olivia Hughes, and scored when Easton Swanson’s ground-ball was mishandled.
  
The one-run win was the Comets’ fourth in league play and third 1-0 victory along with West Marshall and Grundy Center.
