SOFTBALL PERRYSBURG 13 FINDLAY 0 FINDLAY – Perrysburg was not the team picked to win the Northern Lakes League's Buckeye Division softball title this season. But the Yellow Jackets are sure playing like they should have been. All-star shortstop Hayley Griggs blasted three home runs, two Perrysburg pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout and the Yellow Jackets scored 10 times in the final two innings in rolling to a 13-0 win over Findlay in an NLL Buckeye Division game at Babcock Field. Picked to finish second to Anthony Wayne in a preseason poll, Perrysburg (11-1) has instead won straight games – one of them an 11-1 victory over AW – and is unbeaten (4-0) in the league. Findlay fell to 9-4, 1-4 in Buckeye Division games. A Florida State recruit, Griggs drove in seven runs with her three dingers. Yesenia You had four base hits for the Generals, who led just 3-0 before unloading for four runs in the top of the sixth inning and six more in the seventh. Maddie Von Sacken and Bella Click shut down a Findlay offense that had been averaging just over nine runs a game. Von Sacken went the first six innings and gave up both hits – singles by Ryan Boes and Davinee Harris. Click pitched a 1-2-3 seventh.
