Game Summary
Great effort by the Eastern Softball team on their first game of the year in a close game with New Albany where the bulldogs were able to get a few hits in the bottom of the 5th inning that would finish the game with a 4-2 loss. Trueblood and Patton both went hard at the mound, we had some hard hit balls (Blevins, Jackson, Batt, Rankin) that put runs on the board early for us. Overall proud of our effort, we have things to work on to get ready for the upcoming weeks but looking forward to seeing this team grow and compete.
