TOPEKA — Emily Molden seemed to figure something out at the plate Monday night.
The freshman third baseman doubled three different times in the seventh spot in the Bremen lineup to help power the Lady Lions to a sectional-opening win over Central Noble. She wasn’t quite as hot in Tuesday’s semifinal, but she delivered when it mattered most.
