            MARION – In a road doubleheader Friday at Marion, the Inman softball team managed to lose leads in both games while being swept by Marion, 8-6 and 25-15.

            The Lady Teutons are now just 4-12 for the season as they prep to host Sedgwick on Tuesday.

            Inman took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning of game one and held a 6-0 advantage through the top half of the fifth before Marion scored five and then added one in the sixth to tie the score. Going an extra inning, Marion pushed across two in the eighth to gain the final two-run, 8-6 win.

            Alyssa Johnson and Emma Brown each had a pair of hits for Inman with both slamming out a double as did both Joee Hurley and Allison Schrag. Emma Brown also pounded out her fourth home run of the season.

            Brown went all seven innings on the mound for the Lady Teutons, giving up 10 hits, six earned runs, walking just two and striking out 10.

            Marion was helped by hammering out three doubles and a home run.

            In the nightcap, the Lady Teutons held a solid 8-2 lead after two innings and added a run in the top of the third before Marion poured across seven runs in the bottom of the third to tie the game at 9-9. Inman took back the lead by one in the top of the fourth and then pushed across five runs in the top of the sixth to hold a 15-9 advantage when the wheels came off and Marion showered 16 runs across the plate in the bottom of the sixth to get the win.

            Kambrey Woods went 4-for-4 with four runs batted in for Inman, while Joee Hurley, Cora Johnson and Allison Schrag all had a pair of hits as well. Schrag hammered out a triple while eight Lady Teutons recorded a stolen base.

            Aoife Turcotte worked the mound for the Lady Teutons.
