Softball Preview: Catholic Central Cougars vs. Tri County Area Vikings

After two games on the road, Catholic Central is heading back home. They will take on the Tri County Area Vikings at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday. Tri County Area took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Catholic Central, who comes in off a win.

Catholic Central will head into Tuesday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they only won by two when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-point they dealt Thornapple Kellogg on Tuesday. Catholic Central put the hurt on Thornapple Kellogg with a sharp 14-4 victory.

Addison Howard made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit over four innings pitched. Howard was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and two doubles.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Gen Cook, who went 4-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and a triple. Another player making a difference was Riley Lyons, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4.

Meanwhile, Tri County Area was not able to break out of their rough patch last Tuesday as the team picked up their eighth straight defeat. They suffered a rough 17-0 loss at the hands of Big Rapids.
