STRATFORD — The Stratford softball team won its third-straight game, downing Loyal/Granton 5-1 in a nonconference tilt Tuesday at Hilgemann Field.

Lorrie Luepke threw a complete-game two-hitter for the Tigers (3-1). She struck out three, walked three, and gave up just one run, that scored in the third inning by the Greyhounds (0-3).

Brittany Bredemann went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a pair of RBIs to lead the Stratford offense.
