Molly Olson went 5x5 and Heidi Olson hit an inside-the-park home run, leading the Monticello-New Glarus Ponies to a 13-3 win in six innings over the Pecatonica Vikings in a Six Rivers conference game on April 29. After taking a 3-0 lead in the first inning, a triple by freshman Malorie Miller and a single by sophomore Rayna Vogel helped the Ponies extend their lead to 7-0 in the second. The Vikings pulled to within 7-3, but in the fifth inning, Heidi Olson hit a 3-run inside-the-park home run, a high drive that reached the fence in right-center, allowing Olson to circle the bases and make it 10-3.
