Portagers rack up 44 hits, sweep Falcons

PENTWATER — The Onekama softball team stayed unbeaten with a West Michigan D League sweep against Pentwater on Thursday, April 25.

The Portagers (5-0, 5-0 WMD) won the opener 23-0 and the second game 15-0 with both called after three innings due to the mercy rule.

Emily Bergren picked up both wins for Onekama. She was a walk away from a perfect outing in the opener with no hits and nine strikeouts, then allowed two hits while striking out eight in the second game.

“That was pretty impressive,” said Onekama coach Rob Johnson. “Emily is pitching strong.”

Onekama had 44 hits in the series, starting with 27 in the opener.

Kaylor DeWitt went 4-for-4 with two doubles, Hailey Kott had four hits, Emily and Elizabeth Bergren had three apiece and Alyssan Clarke two.

Emily Bergren went 3-for-3 with a triple in the second game, Elizabeth Bergren had two triples and Brittany Humes a pair of doubles.

“We’re kind of gearing up for Frankfort (today),” Johnson said. “That will be our big measuring stick.”
