The Davenport Assumption Knights showed why they are every bit the top seed in the 3A State Tournament bracket with a 12-0 win in 4 innings over Atlantic in the semis Wednesday.

Assumption led off the first and second innings by loading the bases with no outs. The Trojans were able to limit the damage in the first inning with the Knights just plating one on a walk. The second however was a different story. Anna Wohlers delivered a 2 RBI single and two batters later Maddie Looked brought home two more on a double. Libby Madden and Lauren Loken followed with RBI singles and the Knights led 7-0 at the end of the 2nd. Syd Roe blasted a 3-run homer in the 3rd, her 12th of the season. Assumption then took advantage of a couple Trojans errors to plate two more in the 4th and end the game on the mercy rule.

Atlantic only mustered two hits in the shortened game, singles by Olivia Engler and Ava Rush.

Assumption improved to 39-3 on the season and will play for the 3A Championship on Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.

Atlantic falls to 34-6 with the loss. The Trojans will try to regroup and battle for 3rd place on Friday at 1:00 p.m. They will play either Mount Vernon or Williamsburg. We’ll have coverage of that third place game on KJAN with pregame at Noon on Friday.
