PREP SOFTBALL ASHLAND 8-0, CHURCHILL 7-16: At Ashland, with host Ashland trailing by five runs heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, Kallin Hakes capped the Grizzlies’ six-run rally with a walk-off three-run double to capture the first game of a Midwestern League doubleheader split against Churchill. The Lancers (11-7, 6-4 MWL) led 7-2 but the Grizzlies (4-12, 2-8) began the frame by loading the bases after a walk, a Churchill error and a dropped third strike. Alia Gorringe’s RBI single cut the deficit to 7-3 and, with two outs, Gabby Heiken came up with a two-run double before Hakes followed with a bases-clearing double that glanced off the center fielder’s glove. Gorringe finished 3-for-4 with a pair of triples, three RBIs and a run scored for Ashland, and Heiken went 2-for-4 with a double. In Game 2, Churchill scored 12 runs over the first two innings and the contest was called in the fifth by virtue of the 10-run mercy rule.
