Marshfield’s softball team finished the month of April with a perfect 9-0 record after beating Sky-Em League leader Elmira (8-0, 13-4) 5-0 in the Willamette Valley Thursday night in a non-league game. The Lady Pirates, leaders of the 4A Far West League (7-0, 13-5) have actually won ten in a row, and haven’t lost since March 24 at 5A Bend. Sophomore pitcher McKenzie Johnson struck out four, but scattered other hits to a solid defense that only allowed a bunt for a base in the third, otherwise the Falcons were shutout. Marshfield’s offense at the plate was again aggressive, as were the Lady Pirate base runners. Marshfield scored four runs in the third behind five hits. Sara Allison drove in three. Carly Clarkson then brought Allison home with an RBI to make it 4-0. The fifth run came in the fifth on a Katie Maine RBI that scored Khalani Hoyer. Senior Paige Tavernier recorded the save coming in for Johnson in the fifth. She struck out two and gave up no hits.
