Marceline snapped Brookfield's four-game winning streak with a 7-3 win in varsity softball.

The Tigers scored two runs in the 1st inning, three more in the 4th and another in the 5th to lead 6-0.

The Lady Dogs, who were held in check for much of the game, cut the margin in half with three runs in the 6th inning, capped by a two-run double by Gracyn Beckman, who then scored on an RBI by Ashlyn Calvert (1B).

The Tigers tacked on a run in the bottom of the 6th and quickly dispatched the Bulldogs in the 7th.

Greenlee McCollum, Kylin King, Mya Sackrey (BB), Hadlye Sackrey (run) and Emree Littrell (BB, run) each collected a hit, and Austin Lewis added a walk and stolen base. Tylynn Almond produced a sacrifice bunt for the Lady Dogs (6-3).

Holly Sensenich knocked in four runs, guiding the Lady Dogs to 6-1 win in the JV contest. Sensenich (1B, 2B) collected two hits, while Reese Neal (1B, 2B, RBI, 2 runs) and Remi Berger (2 1B, run) also had a pair of hits each.

Addi Bagley (1B, BB, RBI, run) and Lily Willis (1B) added a base hit apiece. Abby Rollison coaxed a pair of walks and scored a run; Gracie Daller walked and Piper Thudium scored a run for the Lady Bulldogs (5-2-1).
