Camille Sonnenberg had 42 strikeouts and walked just two batters over 20 innings of work for Lincoln County in the three-day Colorado River Softball Tournament at Needles, California March 6-8.

Lynx Coach Pat Kelly said Camille came on in relief in a 6-6 tie with Mt. View on Thursday, struck out four, and preserved an 8-6 win for Lincoln.

On Friday, Lincoln lost the first game to Moapa 10-7, but came back to beat Spring Creek 6-1 behind Sonnenberg’s 15 strikeouts. On Saturday, she recorded 11 strikeouts in a 6-1 win over Silver Valley of Barstow, CA. and then posted 12 more strikeouts in beating White Pine 6-3.

Kelly said Kori Gloeckner also pitched well and said Michele Wheatley accounted for seven singles in the tournament. Jaycie Cluff and Bess Pearson also played well for the Lynx.
