It was the team\u2019s second-ever run-rule victory, the first coming against the Steam at home on Opening Day, 13-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was the Wausau offense that struck first, tallying a run in the top of the first on a Riley Schwisow (Northwestern State) RBI knock. The Ignite bats followed that up with a big second frame, where they put up another three runs on a two-RBI double by Ava Clark (Northwest Nazarene) and a sacrifice fly from Molly Fitzgerald (Missouri S&amp;T) to jump out to a 4-0 lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The offensive onslaught continued in the fourth, where the Ignite put up five more runs. The high-scoring inning started off with another Fitzgerald sac fly, followed by a pair of errors that brought home two, a Mia Johnson (UW-Parkside) groundout to bring home another, and finally a huge double into the gap in right from Alysa Lowe (Northern State) to bring in Wausau\u2019s ninth run of the contest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lowe showed off her power hitting again in the sixth, crushing a solo homer to left to start a three-run inning. She finished the game 3 for 4 with two doubles, a home run, and two RBI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lily Sullivan (Akron) had a perfect evening at the plate, getting a hit in all four of her at-bats and crossing home three times herself. Two other Wausau batters, Schwisow and Emily Bechtel (West Virginia State), had a multi-hit game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alicia Flores (Northern Kentucky) was on point in the win, allowing just two hits and one run over six innings en route to her second complete-game win of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wausau\u2019s last three wins have come on the road, all in which the field allowed just one run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wausau Ignite return to Athletic Park on Friday, June 25th for a single-admission doubleheader against the Lacrosse Steam at 5:05 pm CT. This game will also be a Stevens Point Fastpitch Fundraiser, so come by to support both the Ignite and a local youth fastpitch team!,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">###<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leveraging the 31-year success of the Northwoods League, the first for-profit Summer Collegiate Baseball League, Northwoods League Softball (NWLS) is the first for-profit Women\u2019s Summer Collegiate Softball League beginning play in the Upper Midwest in the summer of 2024.\u00a0 The purpose of the League will be to develop players for their college, Olympic and future professional play.\u00a0 Teams will be promoted similar to minor league baseball teams, playing games in front of fans in a fun, friendly, family-oriented environment.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wausau, WI- In game two of Thursday\u2019s doubleheader at La Crosse, the Wausau Ignite trounced the Steam 12-1 through six  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":35987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,14],"tags":[42,46,43,19,45,41,21],"class_list":["post-35986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news","category-update-ticker","tag-collegiate-softball","tag-ignite-softball","tag-northwoods-league-softball","tag-nwl-softball","tag-wausau-ignite","tag-wausau-ignite-softball","tag-wausau-wisconsin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ignite Blowout Steam in 12-1 Run Rule Victory - Wausau Ignite<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The WAUSAU IGNITE are the newest team in Northwoods League Softball, the first for-profit Women\u2019s Summer Collegiate Softball League.
