GRASS LAKE – Whiteford went on the road Monday to take on one of the state’s top-ranked Division 3 teams and won, 9-3.

Grass Lake came into the game 27-3 and ranked No. 7 in Division 3. Karlei Conard threw a complete game, striking out seven and scattering nine hits.

Conard also had a big day at the plate, driving in three runs. Unity Nelson also had three RBIs. Nelson, Shay Alexander and Aly VanBrandt had multiple hits for the 27-3 Bobcats.

The Bobcats scored four times in the first inning and five in the seventh. Grass Lake got its runs with a homerun in first inning and two more runs in the fifth.

“Karlei pitched a great game, mixing speed and location,” Whiteford coach Matt VanBrandt said. “Neither team played mistake free, but we were able to recover from a couple fielding and baserunning mistakes. It was a great opportunity to travel and see excellent competition.”

Grass Lake is the Cascades Conference champion this season.
