Softball Recap: Chippewa Chipps vs. Norwayne Bobcats

Chippewa couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of the Norwayne Bobcats by a score of 4-3 on Wednesday. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Chippewa in their matchups with Norwayne: they've now lost seven in a row.

Katie Gartrell spent all nine innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up 18 Ks.

At the plate, Annie Henegar was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-5 with a triple, a run, and an RBI. Ava Panaciulli was another key contributor, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.

While Chippewa had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
