The Tinora Lady Rams hit three home runs on Saturday, but committed four errors; it wasn’t enough as they were downed by a very good Swanton Bulldogs team, 7-5.

The host Bulldogs struck first, scoring a single run in the bottom of the first to grab a 1-0 lead. The first three Swanton hitters reached via an infield error, and a sac fly from Kendall Glonek scored Beyla Remer for the first run of the game. A double steal would result in a 2-0 Swanton lead as Lacey Shinaver would steal home on a throw to second.

Tioora Freshman Taylor Spangler would connect for her first varsity home run in the top of the second inning against the Bullgogs starter B Remer, cutting the Bulldogs lead to 2-1.

Swanton added a single run in the bottom of the second to take a 3-1 lead. J Ramirez singled off Tinora starter Zoe Billings, and would come around to score on a RBI double off the bat of B Remer.

The Lady Rams would battle back, tie the game at 3-3 in the top of the third inning. Lexi Baldwin singled to start the inning. Zoe Billings would connect with her sixth homerun of the season, a 2-run homer, tying the game.

Swanton broke the tie with two runs in the bottom of the third. Carli LaGrange would draw a one-out walk and would eventually score on another Bulldogs double steal for a 4-3 lead. Cara Ludlow, who reached earlier on a fielder’s choice, would score on a passed ball for a 5-3 lead after three.

The Swantom lead grew to 7-3 in the bottom of the fourth. Beyla Remer was a one-person wrecking crew in the inning. Walking, stealing second and third, and eventually scoring on a passed ball. Alexa Faber would walk and come around to score on a double from Kendall Glonek.

Tinora plated two runs in the top of the fifth as Madison Spangler would hit her 16th homer of the season, scoring Zoe Billings, who led off with a single. The Lady Rams would still trail 7-5 after five innings.

Neither team would score over the final two frames, and Swanton would hold on for a 7-7 win over the Lady Rams.

Swanton improved to 22-3 on the season.

The Lady Rams drop to 7-16. Tinora travels to Antwerp on Monday to end the regular season.
