The Ionia Girls JV Softball Team had an incredible comeback in the Ionia JV Invatational on Saturday, April 23rd to place second. The team struggled with the first game allowing a 16-1 defeat, but although they lost a few of the highlights included Kaidence Thomas going 2-2, Shyann Hines going 1-1, and Emma White and Jazmin Cooper both going 1-2. The second game sparked a desire to win as Ionia got their bats going and cleaned up many of the previous fielding errors for the first game. The Bulldogs were able to come back from a 10-6 deficit in the 7th inning to winning 11-10. This came with the help from many bats. Mariah Stoakes went 3-5 with a big hit late in the game to drive in some important runs, Corinna Hall went 3-4 with a walk, and Jazmin Cooper had an amazing 5-5 game. The crucial tying run was accomplished by an infield error that Allyson Strasser was able to capitalize on and get home. It was an incredible opportunity for the girls to show their ability to pull through and win. They hope to continue this into their next game vs. Olivet on Tuesday, April 26th.
