Softball Recap: Cypress Lake Comes Up Short

If Cypress Lake was feeling good fresh off their 21-7 takedown of Gateway on Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Panthers took an 8-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Gulf Coast Sharks on Wednesday. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Sharks this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 13-0 two weeks ago.

Audrina Westland spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and five unearned) runs on nine hits.

At the plate, Cypress Lake saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Baylee Spano, who went 2-for-4 with one RBI.

Cypress Lake has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-14 record this season. As for Gulf Coast, they pushed their record up to 18-3 with the win, which was their eighth straight on the road.

As of now, neither Cypress Lake nor the Sharks have any future games scheduled.
