Skyline has only played a handful of varsity games in its young history, and not surprisingly, had lost every one prior to Wednesday night.

After dropping its opening game to Father Gabriel Richard 18-6, it appeared the Eagles' win column would remain empty as they headed into the bottom of the seventh of the nightcap trailing 10-6.

Capped by a four-run two-out rally, Skyline pulled off its first-ever varsity win in improbable fashion.

"I was most happy in the fact that we didn't play our best in the first game or to that point in the second, but we absolutely knew we could do it and we stayed in it," said Skyline coach Stephanie Coleman.

After leading off the seventh with a groundout, Grace Pritula reached base on an error and advanced to third after a Hannah Steinberg single. Hunter Sites grounded out on the next at-bat, but Pritula was able to score.

Tyler Marone, who was 3-for-4 with a triple four runs scored and an RBI in the nightcap, drove in Steinberg with a single and then the Fighting Irish started helping out the Eagles as Marone, Courtney Deitzen (pinch running for Allison Young) and Kianna Spivey all scored on passed balls.

Gabriel Richard committed two errors, allowed three passed balls, walked a batter and had a hit-by-pitch in the seventh inning. Natalie Kene was the winning pitcher for Skyline in 2/3 of an inning of relief work. (Game 1 Boxscore | Game 2 Boxscore)

MORE SOFTBALL Blissfield 7, Saline 3: Kristina Zalewski went 3-for-3 with a run scored, but it wasn't enough in the Hornets' home loss. "The key for us is getting runners on base and moving them around, and we're just not getting enough people on base," said Saline (3-5, 0-1) coach Alicia Seegert, whose team trailed 6-0 before scoring three runs in the fifth. Amy Jedele went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored for Saline. (Boxscore)

Napoleon 18, Manchester 13; Manchester 14, Napoleon 3: Manchester failed to score in the final three innings of the first game and the Pirates brought in five runs in the top of the seventh to break a 13-13 tie. Manchester's offense didn't need to score in the final innings of the nightcap as the game was called due to mercy after the fifth. Taylor Gage was the winning pitcher for the Pirates in Game 1 and Jenny Stautz won Game 2. Nicole Jackson led Manchester with eight hits and two RBIs on the night.

Clinton 4, Ottawa Lake Whiteford 2: Despite committing five errors and stranding a bevy of runners, the Redskins escaped with a road win. "We didn't play that crisply, but we played well enough to get the win," said Clinton (6-3, 1-0) coach Jim Roberts, whose team was led by Stephen Coolley's two doubles. Jesse Sexton, Craig Hayden and Rylie Robinson added two hits apiece. Robinson earned the complete game-victory with 12 strikeouts. (Boxscore)
