G-H Girls Drop 

Pair of Games 

It’s been a challenging season to date for 

the Garner-Hayfield softball team and 

the weather has not helped the Cardinals’ 

cause. Garner managed to complete 

only two of five games last week as wet 

weather interfered with games on Monday, 

Thursday and Friday. 

The rain stopped long enough on Tuesday 

for G-H to host Algona in a non-conference 

match up. The Bulldogs scored 

two runs in the first inning to take an early 

lead, but Garner answered with a run 

in their half of the first to keep the game 

close. Algona then scored multiple runs 

in the third, fifth, sixth and seventh innings 

while holding the Cardinals scoreless 

to post an 11 - 1 victory. 

G-H finished the night with six hits but 

were unable to string them together and 

produce runs. Jasmine Doble hit a pair 

of singles to lead the Cards while Taylor 

Nelson, Jenna Wellik, Karah Huinker 

and Megan Waddingham all added base 

hits. Doble surrendered 11 hits and four 

walks on the mound for Garner while 

picking up four strikeouts. 

“When our number of hits match our 

number of errors, its hard to win,” remarked 

coach Anita Smith. “It was a 

positive for us to have lots of base runners 

tonight, but we stranded many of 

them. We just couldn’t come up with that 

big hit when it was really needed.” 

G-H resumed North Iowa conference 

play on Wednesday with a home game 

with Forest City. After two scoreless innings, 

the Indians gained the lead with 

three runs in the top of the third. Forest 

City then added lone insurance runs in 

the fifth and seventh inning on the way 

to a 5 - 0 win. 

Again, the Cardinals were able to produce 

hits at the plate but the inability to 

put the ball in play with runners in scoring 

position kept G-H scoreless. Jasmine 

Doble had another two-hit night for the 

Cards and Chelsey Formanek added 

a pair of singles to the offense. Megan 

Waddingham’s third-inning single was 

the other offensive bright spot for Garner. 

Jasmine Doble again went the distance 

on the mound for Garner, allowing a 

dozen hits with no walks and two strikeouts.

Cardinals Crush Forest City 

Wet, stormy weather led to an abbreviated 

week of baseball action for the Garner-Hayfield 

Cardinals. Games at Osage 

on Monday and Belmond on Friday were 

both postponed due to the wet conditions 

while Thursday’s game at West Fork 

was called off in the fifth inning when a 

heavy thunderstorm arrived. The Cards 

hosted Algona on Tuesday, dropping 

a 10-run decision to the Bulldogs but 

bounced back with a big win over Forest 

City on Wednesday. 

Algona scored five runs in the first inning 

and three more in the second on the 

way to a 12 - 2 win over the Cardinals. 

Algona then stretched the lead to 9 - 0 

in the fourth inning when the Cardinals 

plated two runs to keep the game interesting. 

Three Bulldog runs in the fifth 

inning led to an early end to the game. 

G-H managed only two hits in the 

game, with Tom Legge picking up two 

RBI’s on a single. Nick Svare’s single 

was the only other hit of the game for 

Garner. Tim Molencamp started on the 

mound, allowing 11 hits and four walks 

with a strikeout. Zach Buseman relieved 

Molencamp in the fifth, holding the 

Bulldogs to no hits with two walks. 

G-H got back into the win column in a 

big way against Forest City on Wednesday. 

After giving the Indians a run in 

the top of the first, the Cardinals took 

advantage of some Forest City pitching 

trouble to score seven runs in their half 

of the first. Four walks, three hits and 

two Indian errors allowed the Cardinals 

to send a dozen batters to the plate in that 

inning. The Garner bats remained hot in 

the second, bringing home three runs in 

that inning followed by a four-run fourth 

that resulted in an early end to the game. 

Aaron Babcock had a big night at the 

plate for Garner, finishing the night with 

three RBI’s on two hits. Joe Ermer added 

a single and a double to the offense followed 

by Nick Svare and Blake Risius 

with two hits apiece. Tom Legge and 

Zach Buseman completed the offensive 

effort with a single each. 

Nick Svare tossed a one-hitter for 

the Cards while earning the win. Svare 

Coach Smith stated, “The game was a 

step in the right direction for us. Overall, 

it was a decent game. We made some 

base running mistakes and just couldn’t 

get the hits grouped together to score, 

but we had some base runners on.” 

In the first game of the season, an untimely 

storm cost the Cardinals what 

would have likely been a victory. That 

was the case again on Thursday as Garner-Hayfield 

traveled to Northwood, In 

just three innings the Cards had already 

collected 10 hits and were ahead 5 - 1 

when the clouds opened up and halted 

the game. 

G-H is now 2 - 10 overall and 1 - 3 

in North Iowa Conference play and will 

have a full week of action, providing 

the weather cooperates. The Cardinals 

are scheduled to play at North Iowa on 

Monday before hosting Clear Lake and 

West Hancock on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Garner will then travel to Newman 

on Friday before hosting the Cardinal 

Invitational Tournament on Saturday.

fanned eight Indians while issuing only 

two walks. 

Cardinal coach Bill Awtry commented, 

“This was a good win for us. Forest City 

has been playing good ball and we knew 

we would have to play well to win. We 

had great at-bats and were very patient. 

Once we got runners on base we were 

able to do a lot of things. We ran well 

and put some pressure on their defense 

which made them do some things that 

were out of character. Aaron Babcock 

got his first varsity start and did a nice 

job at the plate going two-for-three with 

three RBI’s. He had been swinging the 

bal well at the JV level and continued 

to do so tonight. Nick Svare did a very 

good job on the mound. He had good 

control of his pitches and hit his spots 

pretty well.” 

Stormy weather on Thursday turned 

a very close game at West Fork into a 

disappointing Cardinal loss. West Fork 

scored once in the third inning to take 

an early lead, but G-H knotted the score 

with a run in the fourth. West Fork answered 

with a run in their half of the 

fourth and then Mother Nature decided 

to send everyone home. 

G-H finished the night with four hits 

as Nathan Hrubes, Blake Risius, Damon 

Quandt and Keith Schwickerath all singled. 

Blake Risius allowed four hits and 

a walk on the mound for Garner while 

fanning two Warhawks. 

The Cardinals are now 3 - 11 on the 

year and 2 - 2 in North Iowa Conference 

play. They will spend plenty of time on 

the road this week, traveling to North 

Iowa on Monday, Garrigan on Tuesday, 

Central Springs on Thursday and Newman 

on Friday. The Cards will have one 

home game this week, hosting West 

Hancock on Wednesday.
