Softball Game Preview: Jal Panthers vs. Hatch Valley Bears

The Jal Panthers will take on the Hatch Valley Bears in a tournament on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

Jal is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They fell 8-5 to Raton on Thursday.

Alexa Talavera was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 3-for-3.

Meanwhile, Hatch Valley fell victim to Dexter and their airtight pitching crew on Thursday. They came up short against the Demons, falling 16-0. The Bears have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
