SECTIONAL SOFTBALL Riverdale ace silences Hawks bats in sectional win
By ERIC INGLES eingles@shawmedia.com
Strong pitching was a major factor in regional championships last week for both Oregon and Riverdale.
And when the two teams met June 10 at Oregon Park West for the sectional softball crown, that pitching was on display again.
Though Oregon’s Mia Trampel was cruising much of the way in the circle, it was the Rams’ Ashlyn Hemm outdoing her, striking out 16 and throwing her fourth no-hitter of the season in a 3-0 Riverdale win.
The sectional meeting was all about Hemm, retiring the side in order in five of the seven innings.
“I think all my spins were working, but what was best was my defense behind me,” Hemm said. “They really helped on that bunt defense.”
Oregon hitters attempted to bunt their way aboard three times in the game. All three went for routine outs. The Hawks also had a popup and a grounder. The other 16 outs in the game were recorded via Hemm strikeouts, with no ball off an Oregon bat leaving the infield all evening.
While Hemm was cruising, so was Trampel, though she had much more help from her defense, inducing seven pop-ups or liners in her five innings in the circle.
Both teams had runners on in the first. Riverdale’s Lexi Duke reached on an error in the top of the inning, but a pair of pop-outs ended that threat and left her stranded at first. In the bottom of the inning, Bella Koertner drew a one-out walk, then stole second and went to third on a passed ball. But Hemm struck out the next two Hawks to end the inning and leave Koertner stranded at third.
From there, both pitchers solidified their control. The Rams went down in order in the second and third, with only one ball leaving the infield, that a routine fly ball for Ava Hackman in center.
Hemm was in even greater control, striking out the side in the second and third and retiring the Hawks in order in the fourth and fifth, striking out four of the six batters she saw in those two innings.
Oregon (24-8) got its second baserunner of the game in the sixth,
