ACKLEY – Taylor Sperfslage knew the AGWSR softball team had been here before.
The Cougars have had to come back from significant deficits in games earlier this summer, and faced another one in Friday’s regional semifinal against Janesville.
The Wildcats built a 10-4 lead in the fourth inning.
“I don’t think we were too nervous,” Sperfslage said. “We were just looking for base hits.”
ACKLEY – AGWSR co-coach Brenda Drake is fine with a 10-8 game win for her Class 1A No. 9 Cougars.
She just wishes that at least one of the eight runs her team gave up were earned.
“We’re struggling on getting the ball to first base,” Drake said. “We’re struggling catching the ball at first base. And once they get it in their head, then it’s hard to get it out. It becomes a snowball (effect).
