Softball Recap: Perry Comes Up Short

Perry was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Madrid Tigers.

At the plate, Karagyn Whelchel made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
