Shortstop Erica Smith catches a fly ball, making an out for the Lady Wolves in the team’s Saturday morning game against Craig High School.
A Craig opponent is called out at first base Saturday morning after Wrangell shortstop Erica Smith throws to first-baseman McKenna Harding.
The Wrangell High School softball team hosted Craig over the weekend, and won its last game of the season Saturday.
The Lady Wolves first faced the Lady Panthers Friday in Wrangell and lost 26-38. Saturday, Wrangell won 20-7.
Wrangell coach Kathleen Harding said her team was ahead of Craig during Friday’s game. However, she switched up the pitchers to give players more game time and the Lady Wolves lost the lead.
Yet, the Lady Wolves were hitting well Friday night, Harding said, with sophomore McKenna Harding clearing the bases a couple of times and senior Loni Buness having some impressive at bats.
During Saturday’s game, the Lady Wolves also hit well. Wrangell had back-to-back home runs during the game, first with McKenna Harding’s home run and sophomore Alyssa Allen following.
Harding is happy the Lady Wolves ended its short season with a win on home field.
The team will lose three players this year, as Buness, Robyn Byrd and Cassie Stuart are seniors. Harding hopes her younger players, as well as some additional freshman come out for the softball team next year.
She also is looking forward to freshman Marsha McCay fine-tuning her pitching skills during the off-season and coming back next spring to lead the Lady Wolves at the mound.
