Softball Recap: Vista del Lago Takes a Loss

Vista del Lago had lost four straight on the road, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 2-14 to make it five. They lost 10-0 to the Arlington Lions. The Ravens were not able to make up for their defeat to the Lions from their previous meeting back in February of 2023.
