By Rylee Altwine
Taking one last trip for the year, the Bluejay softball team went to Cairo to take on Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (LV/SS) on Monday, October 6.
“As a senior, it's sad that the season is over and sad that I won't play with that team again. I am grateful for the friendships and bonds that were created,” senior Kylie Dvorak stated.
In innings one and two, both teams played great defense, allowing zero runs scored.
The Jays made a few mistakes in the third inning, allowing the Raiders to score three runs, while the Raiders kept up the guard, not letting the Bluejays fly to home plate once in the third inning. With a score after three innings being 3-0 in favor of LV/SS.
Coming in hot in the fourth inning, the Jays tied up the ball game, scoring a total of three runs of their own.
In the fifth inning, both teams played wonderful defense, keeping the game tied up going into the sixth inning.
Letting one Raider break away from the Jays, putting them in a one-point game with a score of 4-3 at the bottom of the sixth. In the final inning of the game, the Bluejays could not get a runner home before the game was over, ending the game after three outs.
Scoring for the Jays in their last game were sophomores Kinley Hilkemann, Maelee Hamilton, and Kaelyn Halsey.
The Pierce softball team finished the season with a record of 10-20.
“I am sad that our season came to an end. One thing I improved on throughout the season was my batting. One thing I will miss going into next year are seniors Kylie Dvorak and Peyton Brunckhorst,” Hamilton states.
