Softball team drops final double-header before districts

by Chelsie Darrow

Sadly, the last games of the regular season for the ‘Cats ended on the wrong note, as they Ladycats dropped both ends of a double-header to the Bobcats, 3-1 and 5-0.

Junior Nicole Culbert took to the mound in Game 1 and struck out seven Bobcats, but she didn’t get enough offensive support for the W. Freshman Samantha Cole and junior Katie Stiver were the leading hitters for the ladies in the first game.

In the second game, Culbert again tried to lead the team to a victory, but the offense and defense just weren’t up to snuff. “I pitched as well as I could, but sometimes it gets frustrating when we can’t make common plays like fielding groundballs and pop-ups. The heat didn’t help us at all either, we were all tired after playing eight games in four days,” Culbert explained. Stiver led the team from the plate in Game 2.
