Apr. 21—BAY CITY — The Gaylord Blue Devils are having a devil of a time on the softball diamond as they've gotten off to a dominating undefeated and unscored-upon start to the season.

Gaylord tallied two more wins Thursday in a 19-0 and 16-0 doubleheader sweep of Bay City Western to move to 7-0 in the Blue Devils' 2023 campaign. In those seven wins, the Blue Devils have not allowed a run and have now outscored their opponents 91-0.

Both games went just four innings after the mercy rule kicked in. In the 19-0 win, the Blue Devils scored twice in the first, three times in the second, eight times in the third and six times in the fourth. In the 16-0 victory, Gaylord plated four in the first, seven in the third and five in the fourth.

Aubrey Jones and Jayden Jones toed the rubber and picked up wins in the circle. Aubrey went three innings, allowing two hits and striking out four. Jayden pitched two innings and allowed no hits, striking out two and walking one.

Jayden also collected six hits at the plate while scoring four runs and driving in eight. Aubrey tallied four hits with three runs scored and four RBI. Braleigh Miller had five hits, five runs and two RBI. Abby Radulski had two hits and two RBI. Alexis Shepherd notched five hits, six runs and six RBI. Alexis Kozlowski had four hits, three runs and two RBI. Avery Parker had three hits, three runs and two RBI. Addison Wangler collected two hits, a run and an RBI. Hali Lenartowicz had three hits, four runs and two RBI. Taylor Moeggenberg had two hits and scored a run. Kennedy Wangler had a hit, a run and two RBI.

The Blue Devils — who are ranked No. 2 in Division 2 and are well on their way to the top spot — travel to Petoskey for a Big North Conference doubleheader on Tuesday.
