REEDSBURG — The Logan High School softball team recovered from a tough offensive outing with a huge one to split two games at the Reedsburg Invitational on Saturday.

Pitcher Sophie Schmitz and second baseman Norah Keller both doubled for Logan against the Beavers, but no one else could connect. Shortstop Emma Bacon drove in Schmitz in the top of the fourth inning.
Both Logan and Sauk Prairie scored five runs in the seventh inning to force an eighth before the Rangers scored six times in the top of the eighth.
Both Keller and Bacon had four hits, and Bacon scored five times and drove in four runs with three doubles.
Schmitz, who also scored five runs, was 2 for 3 with two doubles and two RBIs after walking three times, and Kaia DePaolo homered and drove in three runs for the Rangers.
Eight of Sauk Prairie’s runs were unearned.
Central 7, Sauk Prairie 6
Reedsburg 11, Central 1 (5)
