Hornets sting Ladycat softball team, sweep double-header

by Chelsie Darrow

On Wednesday night the Ladycats were swept by the Hillsdale Hornets in a double-header, 9-0 and 17-3. The girls are not giving up and plan on trying their best to win against Burr Oak tonight.

Junior Nicole Culbert took the loss on the mound in Game 1 for the ‘Cats. There were many hitters who got on base, but just couldn’t make it around to score. Katie Stiver, Amber Stump, and Leah Ward all hit singles for P-ford early on, while Stacey Elston, Stiver, and Marissa McEathron contributed hits late, but they didn’t lead to any scores.

During the second game the ‘Cats mustered up three runs, but fell far short of their opponents’ 17. Senior Marisa Hamilton took the loss on the mound, striking out three Hillsdale batters. Culbert, Amber Helton, and Jessica Plessinger each had singles in Game 2, for the extent of the Ladycat offense.
