The Ashby softball team lost to Frazee 7-3 last Thursday night.
The Arrows put runners on base led by two-hit nights from Amber Sundal and Cassandra Jordan. Paige Nelson, Emily Elliot, Jeannette Evavold, Bailey Funkhouser and Jaden Witt also had a hit apiece on a night when Ashby couldn’t bunch enough of them together.
“The Hornets played great defense,” head coach Kandace Norby said. “We had six innings that we had runners in scoring position but weren’t able to capitalize with a timely hit to score.”
Paige Nelson took the loss. She allowed 10 hits and five walks, while striking out five.

EAGLE VALLEY 10,
WCA 2
A young West Central Area softball team cleaned up some things but couldn’t capture its first win of the season in a 10-2 loss to Eagle Valley last Friday night.
The Knights gave up 10 hits to the Rebels but committed no errors in the field for the first time this season. That was a step in the right direction for a WCA team that fell to 0-7 with the loss.
The Knights just couldn’t find a big hit when they needed it after stranding 11 runners on base.
“The Rebels are a well coached team and very disciplined at the plate,” WCA head coach Bryan Poyzer said. “We just couldn’t get the big hit off [Danielle] Pratt when we had the chance, and we had chances.”
