three innings to defeat North Decatur on Senior Night for the
Chargers.

eight batters to the plate to take the lead.
Pitcher Devin Moorman’s power pitching sent the Chargers bats

a single up the middle and Emily Holtkamp followed with a double
along the left field line. Blair Land drew a walk and following a strike

by Amy Wuestefeld, a hit battter, stolen base, a throwing error
and a sacrifice fly and a triple with a fielding error on the throw into
the infield.

ball out of the infield. A walk, an error, an infield single, another error
and an infield out netted three runs an effectively took the Chargers

and an error but it could not reduce the Bulldog’s 11-run lead.
