Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2025 11:51 am
It was no easy dog walk for the hometown Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé softball team Friday at Melvin Park, but the Crimson Bears cleaned up after themselves nicely with a 6-3 win over the visiting Lathrop Malemutes before falling 11-1 in the nightcap.
“Our first game we played good defense and hit well,” JDHS coach Lexi Razor said. “It felt like everything came together, and the girls were talking well on the field and playing great together. In the second game we had several defensive errors and were not hitting. The second games just let us know we have a lot to still work on. We let Lathrop control the second game, which we don’t want to do again tomorrow.”
In the opener Lathrop put two runs up in the top of the first inning, but JDHS answered with three in the bottom half as senior Tatum Billings earned a one-out walk and scored on a wild pitch. Junior country wise email marketing listGwen Nizich walked and scored on a double by senior Bryanna Eakes. Eakes scored on a double by sophomore Brynn Wheeler.
