Portagers fall short

LAKE LEELANAU — The Onekama softball team fell short in a pair of games to Lake Leelanau St. Mary Tuesday, losing the opener 8-3 and the nightcap 12-7.

“We just seemed flat again and came out slow,” said Portagers coach Phil Sedelmaier. “They did improve the second game. I thought they played better, but four errors did not help us at all.”
The Eagles notched a game one victory by breaking a 3-3 tie with a five-run fifth inning.

Onekama pitcher Emily Bergren allowed nine hits with three strikeouts in the opener while leading the team at the plate, batting 2-for-3 with a triple. The Portagers’ Jennica Mathieu had a double with an RBI, Nicole Slater had a hit and an RBI and Brooke Sedelmaier had a hit.

In the nightcap, Bergren allowed nine hits with seven strikeouts for the Portagers (7-16) while Slater and Carly Clark each had two hits including a double and an RBI. Sedelmaier had a hit with a pair of RBIs.
