Softball Hosts Tournament

This past Saturday the softball team hosted an eight team tournament here at Eastivew. With games scheduled at 10, noon, and 2 it was a full day of softball for the team. In game one of three the girls faced Winona-Cotter. The lightning played hard but struggled to score runs, and hold down the Winona-Cotter offense, in a 6-1 loss. Losing meant the team could not take home the championship as they moved to the left in the bracket. Their next opponent was Sibley. The lightning hitters sprayed the ball around the field for a total of 14 runs, and Eastivew pitchers only gave up one run. It was a phenomenal performance by the whole squad. The win sent the Lightning to the consolation championship game versus Park. From the first inning the game was tight and could not be decided in six innings and thus went into extra innings. Unfortunately in the seventh Park scored one run to win the game 2-1. Eastveiw looks forward to the remainder of the season and the upcoming section tournament.
