Wausau Pilot & Review

WESTON – D.C. Everest pitcher Addison Kluck was masterful again, allowing just two hits in a 10-0 victory over Marshfield in a WIAA Division 1 softball regional final Thursday at D.C. Everest High School.

Kluck struck out 11 and did not walk a batter to lead the No. 3 seeded Evergreens (20-6) into a D-1 sectional semifinal match at No. 2 seed New Richmond (19-3) on Tuesday. New Richmond edged Superior 4-3 on Thursday.

D.C. Everest scored in each inning and finished with 15 hits, including three each from Cailtyn Kressel and Brooke Brown. Brown hit a two-run homer and drove in three in the victory.

Marshfield, the No. 11 seed which had upset No. 6 Hudson on Wednesday, had just two singles from Ashlyn Barwick and Lillian Griesbach and finish the season with a 13-15 record.
