Softball Recap: Redington Comes Up Short

Redington extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 13 on Saturday, dropping their season record down to 0-3 in the process. They came up short against the Homer Mariners, falling 10-1. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Huskies of the 11-3 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2024.

Redington saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Emily Wilmoth, who went 1-for-2 with one RBI.

Homer's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-4. Their offense finally found a way to get into gear: the high-octane performance was a 180-degree turn from their last three games.

On Homer's side, Keagan Niebuhr was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Those eight strikeouts gave Niebuhr a new career-high. She was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI. Those hits were her first of the season.

In other batting news, Amakah Stineff was excellent, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That hit was her first of the season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Redington is set to square off against their familiar foe Kenai Central at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. This will be the Huskies' first chance to prove their worth in the conference. Meanwhile, Homer will challenge rival Houston at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
