Fremont's one hit stops Findlay

Fremont Ross managed just one hit off Findlay ace Maggie Gilliland Tuesday.

But that one hit was all the Little Giants needed to nip the Trojans, 2-1, in Greater Buckeye Conference action at Lady Trojan Field.

Fremont's Carey Clark followed a leadoff walk with a one-out blast over the left-centerfield fence in the bottom of the sixth inning to keep Findlay, 5-5 overall, winless in GBC play at 0-2.

"She's their clean-up hitter and she hurt us last year," said Findlay High coach Tim Babcock. "We were well aware of her."

Gilliland (3-4) struck out 14 and walked 3.

Findlay took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning when Gilliland tripled and Jayme Rinesmith followed with one of her two base hits.

Findlay got the tying and winning runs to second and third in the last of the seventh inning on Rinesmith's second hit and an error. Fremont's Jordyn Gallagher nailed down the win, though, with a game-ending strikeout.

Findlay now hits the road for a rugged stretch of games. The Trojans face Perrysburg Thursday, Marion Harding Friday and Lima Bath and Archbold Saturday in a doubleheader at Bath.

In other area games:

— Keri Seel helped her own cause smacking three singles and driving in 2 runs as Fostoria Senior thumped Tiffin Columbian 10-0 in Northern Ohio League action.

Seel finished the nigh with a complete game 3-hitter on the mound with 13 strikeouts against 2 walks. Melanie Nye drove in 3 runs for Fostoria (4-5 overall, 3-0 NOL).

— New Riegel knocked in 3 runs in the top half of the fifth inning and held off a Arcadia rally to defeat the Redskins 5-4.

Taylor Mathias (4-3) went 7 innings with 8 strikeouts for New Riegel (4-3). Taylor Mathias had a double with 2 RBI for the Blue Jackets while Arcadia's Rachelle Palmer smacked a pair of doubles scoring 2 runs.

— Continental's Jessica Hanefeld pitched a one-hit shutout and the Pirates improved to 6-1 with a 13-0 Putnam County League romp over Kalida.

— Fostoria St. Wendelin jumped on Tiffin Calvert for six runs in the first inning on its way to a 9-5 Midland Athletic League win over the Senecas. St. Wendelin pitcher Chelcie Rutter picked up the win to improve to 3-1. She doubled and singled driving in a run as did teammate Katelyn Schiefer.

— One day after having its 62-game Midland Athletic League win streak snapped by Fremont St. Joseph, Mohawk rebounded to knock off Upper Sandusky 4-2 in a non-conference game. Lindsay Bloom smacked a 2-run single in Mohawk's 4-run second inning to lead the Warriors (6-3). Upper Sandusky pitcher Logan Meddings allowed just 1 earned run on 4 hits to take the loss. Dana Haubert had a pair of singles and 2 RBI and Shayleen Wood also added a pair of hits for the Rams (3-6).

— Columbus Grove put 5 runs on the board in the first inning and the Bulldogs remained unbeaten on the season (4-0) and in Putnam County League play (2-0) with a 6-1 win over Miller City.

— Ada's Megan Sybert one-hit Pandora-Gilboa Tuesday night as the Bulldogs run-rulled the Rockets 15-0.

Sybert pitched all five innings allowing just the one hit while striking out 3 and walking 1. Erica Stransky went 3 for 3 with two singles, a double and 3 RBI for Ada (3-4).
