Riley County had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They had just enough and edged the Concordia Panthers out 5-4. That's more bragging rights for Riley County, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
For Concordia's part, Erinae Flesher spent all seven innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and three unearned) runs on 11 hits.
At the plate, Kenlee Williams was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Hattie Blackwood, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
Riley County will have a chance to go back-to-back against Concordia: the pair will be back at it again later today.
