The Twin Cedars baseball team led things off in Lamoni Friday falling to the Demons 9-8. The Sabers softball team followed up the baseball game defeating Lamoni 5-0.

On the baseball diamond, the Sabers went toe-to-toe with the Demons, who are tied for the top spot in the conference. Going into the seventh inning, Twin Cedars trailed the Demons 9-5 before mounting a rally to bring themselves within a run. The rally would fall short though as the Sabers dropped the game 9-8.

Grace Bailey continued to dominate in the circle for the Sabers softball team, striking out 12 Lamoni batters and allowing just one hit on the night. Bailey credits the defense for her ability to be so successful in the circle. The shutout extended Bailey’s scoreless innings pitched streak to 41. Cristen Durian had a pair of doubles and Kenzyn Roberts added a double and two stolen bases to guide the offense in the win.

With their loss the Sabers baseball team dropped to 5-5 on the year, while the softball victory pushed them to 15-5. Twin Cedars summer sports have the weekend off before making the trip to Des Moines on Monday for a pair of matchups with the Thunder of Grand View Christian.
