WHEATLAND and GREEN RIVER – On Monday April 7th, WHS Softball played a rescheduled game with number one ranked Cheyenne East at home. The Bulldogs fell short as East dominated the third and fourth innings with seven runs.

Landri Vaughn was on the mound pitching the majority of the game allowing only two hits and one run, she struck out nine batters.

The second matchup ended with the same result as multiple players earned runs in the game for a final score of 10-3. The game was led again by Mickelsen, who had two stolen bases and two hits – one being a grand slam in the sixth inning, which scored four runs for the Bulldogs. Sophie Meyer also had four hits going four-for-four from the plate and added four RBI’s. Meyer was also on the mound for the entire game allowing three runs and striking out seven batters. Delaney Aurich and Eleni McKee also had two hits each.
Saturday, WHS traveled the short stretch over to Green River and took on the Wolves. The Bulldogs came out swinging in the top of the first: Lockman, Vaughn, and Karley Adams all scored runs on solid at-bats. The game was tied through several innings 3-3, but WHS scored three runs in the final innings to pull away. Adams had three hits out of four at-bats and one RBI while C. Mickelsen hit a homerun to seal the deal. Once again the Bulldogs came out on top by a score of 6-3. Ayden Coates also drove in one run and Aurich had two hits out of four at-bats for the Bulldogs.
