Pierz Pioneers at Pillager Huskies Softball 2025

The Pioneers closed out the regular season by playing in Pillager's annual Under the Lights game.  This one turned out to be a wild one, as the Pioneers trailed 4-3 going to the 7th but Lizzy Gross scored from 2nd base on a ground out to 3rd by Laura Young to tie the game at 4-4 and the contest would go to extra-innings. The Pioneers then put up 5 runs in the top of the 8th to take a nice 9-4 lead and it looked like 8th grader Shayla Iverson, making her first Varsity pitching appearance, would pick up a Win. But the Huskies turned things around in the bottom of the 8th, scoring 6 times to win 10-9.  The final blow came on a 2-out, 2-run Homer from Sophia Schrom to give the Huskies the crazy win.
