Raymond-South Bend 7, Ilwaco 6

Raymond-South Bend rallied to tie the game then won in walk-off fashion with a 7-6 victory over Ilwaco in first game of a double header on Tuesday in South Bend.

The Ravens (4-0 overall) trailed 6-2 with just three outs left, but a clutch bases-loaded triple from Emma Glazier followed by a fielder’s choice RBI ground out by Tressa McMullen tied the game at 7-7.

With one out in the eighth, RSB sophomore third baseman Kassie Koski was hit by a pitch and advanced to third on Ava Pine’s single to right field.

Glazier was intentionally walked, bringing McMullen to the plate, who promptly put the ball in play with a grounder to second base, scoring Koski with the game-winning run.

Koski had a huge game at the plate, going 4-f0r-4 with four doubles to lead the Ravens.

Older sister Kyndal Koski went 2-for-5 with two runs scored while Glazier also had two hits in the game.

Summer Stigall earned the win, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in five innings of relief.
