Lady Wildcats rally for wild nine-inning victory

It was a new feeling for New Bloomfield freshman pitcher Madison Love and her teammates, and she wasn't quite sure how to express it.

"We've never really done this before," Love said. "We're kind of the underdogs, so it's really exciting."

Love drove in the game-winning run with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning in the Lady Wildcats' 7-6, come-from-behind win over the Lafayette County Lady Huskers in a Class 2 sectional Wednesday night.

New Bloomfield (14-12) moves on to the Class 2 quarterfinals and will play at St. Joseph Bishop LeBlond (23-3) on Saturday. Game time has yet to be determined. Bishop LeBlond beat Brookfield 3-1 in its sectional game Wednesday night.
