Biggs sophomore pitcher Gracie Sheppard (28) tosses a pitch in the 9-0 win against CORE Butte for the Lady Wolverines on Tuesday, April 9.

BIGGS, CA (MPG) - The Biggs softball team continued their historical dominance over CORE Butte as the Lady 

Wolverines swept and shut out the Lady Lynx in 9-0 and 12-0 victories last week.

The two victories over CORE Butte carried the streak of 18 consecutive victories for Biggs this season and Head Coach Michelle Felkins expressed to the Herald that she has an entire team of leaders. She added that her entire roster is full of leaders from all levels as freshmen through seniors have all shown leadership skills.

Lady Wolverines sophomore pitcher Gracie Sheppard sat down 12 CORE Butte hitters back to the bench on strikes as she gave up two hits and walked two batters in her six innings in the circle of the Biggs 9-0 win on Tuesday, April 9. Sheppard hit a two-run double in the game at the plate.

Sheppard told the Herald the first thing she does in the circle is find where the umpire’s strike zone is and when she finds out the zone, she adjusts her release points after that.

The Lady Wolverines’ offensive numbers that have been produced so far through their 19th game on Friday, April 12 are insane. As the whole team hits with a batting average of .480 as a team, the 276 runs that have crossed the plate already eclipsed their run total from last season of 262.

Felkins told the Herald that the hitters have adjusted well throughout the season and adjustments inside the game have been a part of their hitting success. “We tell them to take a shorter path to the ball,” Felkins said.

Biggs had 47 extra-base hits going into play this week, but the simple fact of getting the bat on the ball has led to over 170 singles on the season.

In the Lady Wolverines’ 12-0 shutout over the Lady Lynx on Friday, April 12, Biggs freshman pitcher Riley Harrison pitched a five-inning complete game where she allowed three hits and walked one for her eighth win of the season.

Harrison also had two hits in the game, including a runs-batted-in single in the first inning.

The Lady Wolverines were scheduled to continue Mid-Valley league play this week against Hamilton.

Hamilton was swept last week by Los Molinos, who is also the only other undefeated team in MVL play besides Biggs.
