Sophomore Erin Cerveny allowed just four hits—three to losing pitcher Marissa Mullen -- as Shawano upset D-1 opponent Appleton North 4-2 Saturday in the highly regarded 8-team Ashwaubenon tournament. Cerveny recorded 13 ground-ball outs, benefitting from exceptional Shawano team defense. Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth, the Hawks rallied for three runs on singles by Alli Raddant, Cerveny and Sarah Petry and three Appleton North errors. Cerveny retired North in order in the seventh to record her 5th overall victory and 3rd against D-1 opponents. In other games, Shawano lost 7-0 to Ashwaubenon, stranding seven runners with 0 out in the first three innings. In their second game, the Hawks took a 3-0 lead over Appleton East, but three infield errors led to a 6-run third inning and a 9-3 East victory. Saige Henning had four hits and Sarah Petry added three to lead Shawano, unbeaten at 3-0 in the Bay Conference and 5-4 overall.
