The Alliance Bulldogs were looking for an upset win over one of the top teams in Class B this season, while there were many positives, Gering used strong pitching from Sarah Weise in a 5-0 win.
There were no runs until Gering plated two in the 3rd and three more in the 4th for the only scoring of the game.
Hannah Schneider had another strong game in the circle for Alliance, striking out six Gering batters over seven innings, while allowing 11 hits and two walks.
Gering pitcher Sarah Wiese had a whopping 16 strikeouts in the win, allowing just four hits in the victory. Hallie Schneider, Alivia Osborn, Kyra Jesperson and Maci Cornish all had one hit for Alliance.
Next up for Alliance is a home double-header against Bayard, followed by a home triangular on Saturday against Chadron and Chase County.
