Sioux Central turned the first inning at Lake Park into the whole game. The Rebels scored nine runs in the top of the first and were never threatened in a 15-0 victory over Harris-Lake Park on Thursday at Harris-Lake Park Jr-Sr High School.

Jessy Bibler said the offensive approach was the difference, noting that the lineup “put the ball in play hard and applied pressure all game long.” Bibler also said Matilyn Trierweiler “did a great job in the circle.” Trierweiler handled all four innings, allowing three hits, walking none and striking out eight.

The production was spread throughout the order. Nichole Hart and Sage Weber each had three hits for Sioux Central.
