Lady Wolves Win in Ketchikan
By Sentinel Sports
Sitka High’s Lady Wolves softball team got its first wins against the Ketchikan High School Kings in two conference games over the weekend.
On Friday, the Wolves prevailed 9-8 in a hard-fought game, before coming back to dominate 11-5 on Saturday.
“Friday night was a big night as the Sitka girls were able to finally break through against KayHi,” Coach Bob Potrzuski said.
Senior Zoe Krupa pitched during that game and was “tremendous,” he said.

“Hard-hit balls were few and far between and she recorded 7 strikeouts,” Potrzuski said.
Ashlyne Miller lead at bat with an out-of-the-park three-run home run. Krupa also had key hits at bat, as did Miah Dumag, Emily Young, and Abby Forrester, he said.
Saturday’s game was ruled by Dumag, who pitched under extremely challenging conditions, the coach said.
“Throwing from a muddy puddle, she consistently threw strikes, forcing the Kings to hit easy ground balls that were fielded cleanly behind her,” he said. “With the team’s two seniors absent due to graduation, Dumag stepped up at the plate as well with a triple at a key moment in the game.”
Whitney McArthur also showed off her hitting with two hits and tremendous speed on the base paths, he said.
The team was slated to play a third game Saturday but officials called it off because of wind and rain. The field was deemed too dangerous by the umpires, Potrzuski said.
“It really is difficult to win in Ketchikan, much less win twice,” he said. “It looks like we’re hitting our stride just as the regional tournament is rolling around – exactly how we planned it.”
The team heads to the region tournament in Juneau this weekend.
“Our success will depend on how well we catch it and throw it, because our hitting is really looking good and I think we have the best pitching,” Potrzuski said.
