Apple Valley Softball Falls 11-1 to No. 1 Burnsville

The second Apple Valley-Burnsville softball contest this season was a lot like the first.

Top-ranked Burnsville got its bats going—banging out 18 hits—and played good defense, and senior pitcher Kelsey Anderson did the rest as the Blaze scored an 11-1 senior day softball triumph in South Suburban Conference softball Monday.

Apple Valley fell to 5-8 in the league and 10-10 overall. Burnsville moved to 13-0 in the conference and 16-1 on the season.

Burnsville junior shortstop Danielle Wolk went 4-for-5 and drove in four runs to lead the Burnsville offense. Wolk ripped a 2-run home run in the second inning to lift the Blaze to a 4-0 lead.

Burnsville's Kelsey Anderson was 3-for-5 with three RBI. Her two-out, two-run double in the third made it a 6-0 game.

Anderson struck out seven and walked one in six innings. She gave up just two hits, and one unearned run.

Burnsville scored one in the first, three in the second and three in the third to take a 7-0 lead.

Apple Valley got on the scoreboard with a run in the top of the sixth, but Burnsville scored two more in the bottom of the inning to close out the game.

Kati Erb and Christa Switzer got hits for Apple Valley.   

Burnsville beat Apple Valley 11-0 in the first matchup between the two South Suburban Conference teams this season on April 13.

Apple Valley's regular season is done.
