Onekama drops 2 to Benzie

ONEKAMA — The Onekama High School softball team dropped both games of a doubleheader against Benzie Central Monday.

The Huskies won the opener, 7-0, and the nightcap, 14-8.

After winning both its opening games of the season, the Portagers (2-4) have dropped four straight.

“It just sort of carried over,” Onekama coach Phil Sedelmaier said of a pair of losses to Mesick Thursday.

In the first game, Onekama managed just two hits, as Jennica Mathieu and Katie Prielipp each had one.

The Huskies opened the nightcap with five runs in the first inning and had a 14-3 lead in the third before the Portagers scored five more.

“Our bats finally came alive, but we dug ourselves too big of a hole,” Sedelmaier said.

Paige Rutowski and Diamond Kimpel led Onekama at the plate with a pair of hits each.

Chelsea Miller again pitched both games for the Portagers.

“Her arm is about to fall off,” Sedelmaier said with a laugh. “She’s doing a great job for us.”
