Softball Recap: Hackett Catholic Prep Starts Season with Win Against Allegan

Hackett Catholic Prep had to kick off their season on the road on Wednesday, but they showed no ill effects. They never let the Allegan Tigers get on the board and left with a 12-0 win. The Fighting Irish have beaten the Tigers the last seven times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Tigers has come to flipping the script.

Ellie Kling made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. Kling was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs and one triple.

In other batting news, Alexa Rosell was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 2-for-2. Another player making a difference was Avery Doerr, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3.

Hackett Catholic Prep will have a chance to go back-to-back against Allegan: the pair will be back at it again later today.
