SOUTH WAYNE - Black Hawk sophomore Hannah Butler worked out of multiple jams and helped lead the Warriors to a 10-4 win over Argyle Tuesday.
Butler pitched a complete game to get the win. She gave up four runs, struck out six and walked two.
"Hannah Butler battled through some tough situations," Black Hawk coach Curt Leuzinger said. "Black Hawk girls were aggressive on the base paths and manufactured runs when the opportunity was there. The Black Hawk girls put the ball in play and made things happen."
Warriors sophomore Maddy Huschitt, senior Cheyenne Stewart and junior Mia Jackson were each 2-for-4 with one RBI.
Argyle junior Kirsten Ostby was 2-for-4 to lead the Orioles.
Black Hawk's "Miracle Minute" to honor the late Juda teenager Natalee Baum has been rescheduled to be during the April 30 home game against Pecatonica.
