The Hawley softball team posted a pair of Heart O’ Lakes Conference wins over Pelican Rapids on Thursday, winning 15-7 and 5-0.  “Hawley played very well in the field and their pitchers were throwing strikes,” said Pelican Rapids Head Coach Derrick Nelson.

Hawley jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the opening game, but the Vikings cut the lead to 10-4 with a 4-run bottom of the third.  The Nuggets got those four runs back in the top of the fourth and went on to victory.  Ariana Villagomez (2-4, RBI, R), Kia Nelson (2-2, BB, 2RBI, 2R), Zayla Arrow (1-3, BB, RBI, R), Claudia Gurath (1-4, 2RBI, R) and Sylvia Pesch (1-4, BB, R) led the Vikings at the plate.

In the second game, Nelson (6IP, 9H, 2BB, 7K, 1ER) pitched well in taking the loss.  Offensive leaders were Zayla Arrow (2-2, BB), Linea Thomas (1-2, BB) and Claudia Gurath (1-4).

No Hawley stats were reported.

The Vikings will travel to Frazee on Friday for a double header starting at 4:00pm.
