GREEN RIVER — After dropping their first two conference games last week, the Green River Wolves softball team responded with back-to-back 4A South victories this weekend, taking down Cheyenne South on Friday and winning a walk-off thriller against Laramie on Saturday. The Wolves fell to Laramie in a non-conference rematch later that day to close out the home series.
Allred powers Wolves past Cheyenne South for first conference win
Green River’s offense came alive Friday in a 12-9 victory over Cheyenne South, marking the Wolves’ first conference win of the season.
Kodi Allred delivered a perfect day at the plate, going 4-for-4 with a triple, double, and two singles while driving in three runs. Her bat led a 17-hit performance for the Wolves.
After falling behind 2-0 in the first, Green River responded with two runs in the bottom half, including an RBI single from Allred. A three-run rally in the third put the Wolves ahead, highlighted by Allred’s triple and a run-scoring double from Haidyn Terry.
Green River broke the game open in the fourth with five more runs. Allred doubled in two, and extra-base hits from Terry and Ally White kept the momentum rolling.
Terry pitched a complete game, allowing three earned runs and striking out nine. With the win, Green River improved to 1-2 in conference play.
Rieck’s walk-off lifts Wolves to second straight conference win
On Saturday, Green River earned its second consecutive conference win, edging Laramie 6-5 in dramatic fashion. Down one in the bottom of the seventh, senior Emma Rieck delivered a two-out, two-run single to walk it off.
Laramie struck first with a four-run first inning, sparked by a double from Carson Milam and a three-run homer by Maddie Doser. Green River responded in the bottom half with RBI hits from Allred, Terry, and Danielle Maag, tying the game 4-4.
After six scoreless innings, Laramie regained the lead on an error in the seventh. But the Wolves wouldn’t go quietly. Allred singled, and Terry reached on a fielder’s choice before Maag’s base hit set the stage for Rieck’s game-winning knock.
Terry picked up her second win of the weekend, allowing four earned runs over seven innings. Allred went 3-for-4 and scored twice, while Rieck drove in two.
The win brought Green River to 2-2 in 4A South conference play.
