Hayden McCoy delivered a game winning hit and the Webster City softball team walked off Storm Lake 2-1 in eight innings Tuesday night. Each team had six hits in the game with the Tornadoes lone run coming from Grace Kenkel who crushed a solo homer in the 2nd inning.
With the game tied at 1-1 in the top of the 7th, Avery DeHaan led off with a single to right. Cole Richardson hit the next pitch for a base hit to put runners at first and second base. Kenkel would then hit a hard ground ball right at the 2nd baseman who tagged out Richardson and threw to first for a key double play. Olivia Speers then grounded out to the pitcher and the inning was over.
DeHaan suffered the loss pitching 7 2/3 innings giving up two unearned runs on six hits while striking out nine. The Tornadoes fall to 3-2 on the year and they will play again Wednesday night at home vs. HWC. Click below to hear the post game interview with head coach Tony Statz.
