Take Note for Thursday, April 3: Sedovic is clutch in extra innings, Wiewel keeps hitting, Central juggernaut keeps piling up runs
QUINCY — Here are some of the newsworthy moments that took place across the area sports scene on Thursday, April 3:
• Elise Sedovic continues to be the Quincy Notre Dame softball team’s secret weapon in late innings. Sedovic drew a walk to lead off the eighth inning against Liberty, went to second base on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a groundout as the Raiders rallied for a 4-3 victory. Sedovic’s also was part of a walk-off victory against East Dubuque to open the season when she laid down a sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the seventh that resulted in an error and the winning run scoring.
• Abram Wiewel ran his hit streak to seven games with a blast the Quincy Notre Dame baseball team needed. Wiewel’s two-run home run in the fifth inning broke a 1-1 tie and catapulted the Raiders to a 4-1 victory at Liberty. Wiewel is hitting .522 with 11 RBIs, three doubles and two home runs.
• Geneseo completed a Western Big 6 Conference sweep of Quincy High School in game that were anything but mirror images. The Maple Leafs won 15-0 at home Monday before coming to the Gem City and scratching out a 5-4 victory Thursday when Kruiz Ludwig hit a solo home run in the top of the seventh.
• Anna Peters went 4 for 4 with a double and four RBIs as the Camp Point Central softball team beat West Prairie 18-2. The Panthers have scored 10 or more runs in all seven of their victories and are averaging 12 runs per game overall.
• The bottom of the order came up big for the Pleasant Hill softball team. Neitzel and Hubbard, hitting in the No. 7 and 8 spots respectively, each went 3 for 4 and combined to score five runs and drive in two others in the Wolves’ 17-14 victory over Greenfield-Northwestern.
• Amelia Ham had six goals and three assists as the Quincy University women’s lacrosse team returned from an 18-day break to pick up a 20-5 victory at Ottawa (Kan.). The Hawks (6-3) open Great Lakes Valley Conference on Saturday at associate member Missouri Western State.
• Kaelin Quarles, a sophomore midfielder on the Culver-Stockton College women’s lacrosse team, scored her 100th career goal during Thursday’s 22-5 loss to eighth-ranked Missouri Baptist.
• Quincy native Luke Guthrie took a double bogey on his first hole Thursday and made birdie on his last, with nothing but pars in between, and sits at 1-over 73 and tied for 110th after the opening round of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Club Car Championship in Savannah, Ga.
