Softball drops two to Reading

by Chelsie Darrow

On April 27, the Ladycats took on the Reading Rangers; they played tough in their two games, but couldn’t pull out a sacred W. The score for the first game was 11-5, and the score for the second was 14-4.
For the first game, senior Marisa Hamilton led the team in batting. Hamilton slugged two hits to lead the Wildcats. However, Hamilton earned the loss on the mound, striking out six in the process.
In the second contest, junior Amber Stump and freshman Stephanie Reyome each belted doubles to lead the hit charge. “It felt good to hit a double since that was the first one this year. I felt that the hard work paid off,” exclaimed Reyome. Hamilton and sophomore Jade Smith combined to finish the game on the mound.
All-in-all the Wildcats are trying their hardest with performances that don’t really show the work they put in, especially with a 3-7 overall record, but things look better for the future as the ‘Cats are working from the ground up and it won’t be long before it will show out there on the diamond.
