CLEAR LAKE — A late flurry of runs by Clear Lake cost the Webster City softball team a key North Central Conference game here Monday night.

The Lions (10-8 overall, 7-3 in the North Central Conference) scored four in the sixth inning to secure a 4-2 victory, winning for just the third time in the series since 2018.

Jakaela Cherry had an RBI and scored a run, Ava Peterson scored a run and Delainey Bargfrede struck out seven for Webster City (13-8, 9-2).

All four runs scored by Clear Lake were unearned against Bargfrede, who allowed just three hits.

The Lynx look to rebound on Wednesday when they host Iowa Falls-Alden.
