Lady 'Dogs tally 3-2 win

Le Mars rebounded from a 4-0 loss at Estherville-Lincoln Central Monday with a 3-2 win on the road at Sioux Central Tuesday evening.

The host Rebels - who are ranked 10th in Class 2A - got on the board first with a pair of unearned runs in the first inning.

But after that it was the Lady Bulldogs who dominated the contest.

In the top of the third, Alyssa Louison worked out a walk and then stole second. The senior advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Erica Westhoff and then scored on a fielder's choice from Emily Anderson where Sioux Central missed the out at home.

Le Mars added two more in the top of the sixth as Emily Anderson led off with a single.

Anderson stole second and one out later, she scored from second on an Emily TeBrink single.

Kirstie Ruhland then reached on an error which allowed TeBrink to score, giving the Lady Bulldogs a 3-2 lead and the eventual win.

Le Mars registered five hits in the win.

Ruhland ripped a double while Anderson, TeBrink, Kelby Klein and Westhoff each singled.

Erin Kommes collected the win for the Lady 'Dogs in seven innings of work. She gave up two runs - none earned - on seven hits and two walks and fanned seven.

Le Mars (16-6, 6-4) looks to avenge a 3-2 loss at Sheldon as the Lady 'Dogs host the Orabs in Lakes Conference action on Wednesday.
