Prep softball: Royals finish unbeaten
Daily Tribune Staff
Jada Straub had two doubles and a triple for Wisconsin Rapids Assumption in its Marawood Conference South Division softball doubleheader sweep of Auburndale on Monday in Wisconsin Rapids. The Royals won the opener 12-2 and took the nightcap 18-3.

Straub's hitting in the second game was mirrored by her pitching, where she struck out seven for the Royals.

The win clinched a conference championship for the Royals, who finish their conference season at a perfect 14-0. The Royals also finished unbeaten in nonconference play with an overall record of 19-0.

"They were long games with lots of walks," Assumption coach Jim Getzloff said. "We also had an error or two that we shouldn't have."

The decisive wins seal the Royals' ninth conference championship in a row. With a first-round bye, Assumption will play the winner of Almond-Bancroft and Wild Rose in the second round of regionals on May 20.

"I'm very proud of the girls, getting 19 wins," Getzloff said.
