Youngren, Gross lead Wolves past Underwood, 7-0
UNDERWOOD -- Abbey Youngren smacked her fifth home run of the year and Peyton Gross pitched a five-hit shutout Friday night as the IKM-Manning softball team completed a season sweep of Underwood, 7-0, for its fourth consecutive win.
Youngren’s three-run bomb in the top of the first was all the offensive support that Gross (11-4) would need as she struck out 10 and walked two in her five-hitter.
The Wolves improved to 11-5 overall and 9-2 in the Western Iowa Conference, good for third place behind Logan-Magnolia and Treynor. The Eagles dropped to 6-8 overall and 4-7 in the WIC.
