Softball Recap: Scottsburg Takes a Loss

Scottsburg had lost eight straight at home dating back to last season, but on Monday they dropped their record down to 0-15 to make it nine. They lost 12-2 to the Eastern Musketeers. The Warriors were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Musketeers apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.

Scottsburg saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Hannah Tatlock, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one double. Lauren Chapa also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.

As for Eastern, their record is now 7-9. They not only won on Monday, but they posted their biggest win since April 18th (when they won 14-1).

On Eastern's side, the team relied heavily on Sahara Short, who went 1-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. Those four RBI gave Short a new career-high. Alyssa Calloway was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
