The Tiger softball team dropped two tough games in their season opening doubleheader against York College.
The score was close throughout the first game. The teams were tied heading into the sixth inning, but the York Panthers scored one more run in the inning to edge out the Tigers 6-5.
“For the first game of the year, I thought we played well,” junior Brooke Staehr said. “Obviously, we still have some things to work on.”
Despite a late run by Doane, York used a big fourth inning to collect five hits and six runs to win the second game 11-5. The Tigers had a tough time bringing in their teammates, leaving eight runners on base.
“We did a lot of good things, but we had some let downs that really hurt us”, junior Jenni Allder said. “These two games showed us what we have to work on for the rest of our season.”
The Tigers (0-2) will look to bounce back from a sluggish start as they play again at 11 a.m. on March 12 in the Bronco Invitational at Hastings.
