MONTAGUE — Montague lost both ends of a doubleheader to the always strong Oakridge Eagles Tuesday, 16-4 and 22-0.
Oakridge has won all six of its West Michigan Conference Lakes games to date by at least eight runs.
The Eagles got off to a very fast start on the day, scoring twice in the first inning and six times in the second. Montague (5-15, 0-8 WMC Lakes) was able to make some things happen at the plate later in the game, with Kayden Johnson collecting two hits, including a double, and scoring twice, plus a double by Jocelyn Rodriguez-Perez and two RBI by Reagan Cederquist. However, by then the Eagles had built up a huge lead and won by mercy rule.
Cederquist allowed three earned runs - five Wildcat errors hurt her cause - on eight hits in four innings of work. She struck out two.
There was no stopping Oakridge in game two as the visitors scored 13 runs in the first inning and nine in the second to end the game in three innings by mercy rule. Greta Auch and Cederquist each got one hit. Arianna Mueller pitched one shutout inning.
