Trojan softball is lone victor
at regionals
Staff writer
Postponing Hillsboro’s home softball against Yates Center from Monday to Tuesday because of weather didn’t kill momentum the Trojans were feeling. They won 12-2 in six innings via run-rule.
The county’s only victorious team in regional play this past week will travel today to Uniontown for the second round of tournament play.
Hillsboro’s baseball played its regional game a week ago, losing 15-0 on the road to Southeast of Saline.
Marion’s baseball team lost 3-2 Thursday to Chase County.
“Sort of an interesting season for us,” coach Roger Schroeder said. “Felt like we underachieved a bit in the first half of the year and maybe overachieved in the back half.
“We did a nice job competing and adjusting from about mid-April through the end of the regular season.”
Jameson Looper set a season record with three home runs. Ollie Norris set a record of being hit by a pitch 18 times.
Marion’s softball team traveled Monday to Uniontown, losing its regional game 17-0.
