Chaparral couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 22-0 walloping at the hands of the Circle Thunderbirds on Tuesday. The defeat means Chaparral is still on the hunt for the season's first 'W'.
For Circle's part, Whitney Wilbur was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Wilbur was also big at the plate, scoring three runs while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Lauren Swilley was a standout: she scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. Another player making a difference was Kennedy Baker, who scored three runs while going 2-for-4.
While Chaparral had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
