NIAGARA 6,

GILLETT/SURING 3

NIAGARA, Wis. — Shelby Zittlow ripped a two-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a 3-all tie and help send the Lady Badgers to a 6-3 victory over visiting Gillett-Suring in a Marinette & Oconto Conference game on Monday.

“(She) does a great job putting the bat on the ball,” Niagara coach Joe Champeau said of Zittlow. “I had her come into the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and she delivered. She always delivers big hits at crucial moments.”

Niagara scored a run in the bottom of the first but the Hornets scored twice in the top of the third to go in front.
