Softball 8u
Night Wolves 3, Killer Pandas 1
In the final 8u softball game of the season, the Killer Pandas faced off against the Night Wolves. The Pandas came out swinging in the first inning with a double by Alice Sorensen, and singles by Evie Shaffer and Ari Bennett.
The Night Wolves defense, led by Catriona MacTaggart, prevented the Pandas from breaking the game open.
Strong pitching by Mackenzie Ewen and Sarina Hill, along with heads up plays by Evie Joerger at first base, kept the Pandas in the game. But, ultimately, they were no match for the Wolves’ howling bats, led by Evelyn MacMichael’s triple and doubles by Bailey Gregovich and Abby Gregovich.
