Sandburg softball’s Pyle, Climer named to All-Arrowhead Conference team

GALESBURG — The Sandburg softball team had a pair of freshmen voted to the All-Arrowhead Conference team.

 

Infielder Hannah Pyle and outfielder Jordyn Climer were voted to the team by league coaches after leading the Chargers in most offensive categories in conference play.

 

Pyle, a corner infielder from Economy, Ind., played in all 20 Arrowhead games this spring and led Sandburg in batting, on-base percentage and slugging with a .500/.525/.741 slash line over 61 plate appearances.

 

Pyle also swatted a team-leading three home runs against Arrowhead opponents and topped Sandburg with 43 total bases in conference play. Pyle scored 13 runs, drove in 14 and collected six extra-base hits.

 

In Sandburg’s April 3 doubleheader sweep at Sauk Valley, Pyle reached base safely in all nine of her plate appearances. She finished 7 for 7, walked twice, doubled, homered, scored five runs and had four RBIs.

 

Climer, a Warsaw High School product who saw most of her time in left field, also played all 20 conference contests. Over 64 plate appearances, she hit .492/.516/.639, finishing second to Pyle in all three categories.

 

Climer led the team with six doubles and seven extra-base hits against Arrowhead opponents. Her 14 runs and 39 total bases were second among Chargers players, and she picked up eight RBIs.

 

Climer went 2 for 3 with a homer, two runs scored and three RBIs in Sandburg’s 18-6 win March 18 over Sauk Valley.
