JAMESTOWN – Pitching and defense didn’t help Jamestown Blue Jay Softball Thursday.

Bismarck Legacy took two games from Jamestown 12-7 and 10-2 at Trapper Lawrence Field.

Game 1: Bismarck Legacy 12, Jamestown 7

Six runs in the fifth inning helped Legacy grab the lead they would not relinquish.  Micah Heinemeyer hit a three-run double to give Legacy a 6-4 lead in that big inning.  Riley Ingemansen hit a two-run single and Brynn Arnold socked a solo home run for the Sabers.

Sophia Bond and Maddie Hoff had two-run doubles for Jamestown (14-7, 10-5), but Makenna Nold (6-4) struggled in the circle.  She struck out 17, but also allowed 12 runs and 14 hits.  The Blue Jays committed two errors, one of which extended a three-run rally in the third inning by Legacy.

Game 2: Bismarck Legacy 10, Jamestown 2

Legacy scored nine runs in the last three innings off Hoff (8-3).  An error scored the run that broke a 1-1 tie in a four-run fifth inning.  Kate LeMoine also singled in two runs.

Arnold homered again, a two-run shot in the sixth.

Hoff allowed 10 runs and 14 hits in seven innings.

Jamestown (14-8, 10-6) managed just four hits against Legacy starter Rawling Borseth (7-4).  Torrie Mack hit her sixth home run of the season.

Jamestown will host another WDA doubleheader against Bismarck Saturday at Trapper Lawrence Field.
