Western Dubuque ended its WaMaC Conference softball campaign with a pair of wins over Anamosa at Farley Park on July 7.

Ally Massey hit a solo home run and Rachel Drees added a two-run home run in the fourth inning to spark the Bobcats.

"The two home runs by Ally and Rachel broke this close game open," coach Ron Lehman said. "Cathy Thies did a great job pitching."

Thies struck out two and allowed four hits in the complete-game win. Katie Ramler led WD, batting 2-for-3. Massey, Drees and Zoey Weber each had one hit.

In the second game, WD earned a 9-1 victory.

"This was Senior Night for four WD girls - Rachel Drees, Cathy Thies, Ally Massey and Cali Botsford," Lehman said. "All four girls contributed big time in these wins.

"Rachel pitched the first three innings, not allowing a hit. Because of her injury, we limited her. Jessie Becker came in and finished pitching. Cali had two big hits in this game to drive in runs."

Drees struck out five and allowed one walk in three innings. Becker pitched the win. She walked three and allowed one earned run on two hits.

Ramler batted 3-for-4 to lead WD. Weber and Botsford were both 2-for-3. Michelle Fagerlind was 2-for-4. Lynsey Reimer, Massey and Drees each had one hit.

Marissa Kluesner, who was the courtesy runner for Weber, the catcher, stole five bases between the two games.

WD ended the conference season with a 10-12 WaMaC record.

"If we still played in the old Big Bend Conference, we were 7-3 against those teams, but this WaMaC is one tough conference," Lehman said. "We were 10-12 in conference, seven wins better than last year. So, I believe the girls improved and even with the losing record, were a good team."
