May 20—LAKE LEELANAU — A pair of fairly evenly matched teams each took home a win and a loss as Lake Leelanau St. Mary hosted Benzie Central in a nonconference twin bill on the softball diamond Thursday.

St. Mary (14-8) won the first game of the doubleheader in a 9-7 final. The Eagles jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after the first inning and answered the Huskies' two-run top of the second with two runs of their own in the bottom of the frame on an Elena Grant single to left field.

Benzie (15-10) got within striking distance at 5-4 after scoring single runs in the third and fourth innings, but the Eagles tacked on three in bottom of the fourth after a Delana Kirt triple, a Della Bunek RBI groundout and a Jenny Morio single to increase their cushion to four runs. St. Mary added an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth, which turned out to be helpful after Benzie plated three runs in its final at-bat before falling short of the full comeback.

Morio picked up the win in the circle for St. Mary, tossing six innings and allowing just one earned run on eight hits with four strikeouts. Cathryn Mikowski was a perfect 4-for-4 from the dish and scored three times while driving in one. Grant finished with a team-high three RBI.

Riley Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI for the Huskies. Autumn Skiver also collected two hits, including a double, and drove in two runs in the loss.

St. Mary delivered again in the first inning of the second game, scoring four runs, but the Huskies had a four-run frame of their own in the third after scoring twice in the first and second innings for an 8-5 lead. The Huskies went on to win 9-6 in the second game, which was shortened to just four innings because of time constraints.

Grace Heiges pitched all four innings for Benzie, giving up two earned runs on two hits with three strikeouts and four walks. Sanchez and Katie Quick each picked up a double and two RBI.

Kirt and Audrey Smith doubled in the loss. Kirt's two-bagger plated two runs, while Mikowski picked up the other RBI. Leah Fleis had St. Mary's only other hit of the game.

The Eagles host Bear Lake on Saturday, and the Huskies head to Mason County Central on Monday.
