5/31/2019 0 Comments Softball Comes to an EndBy Kenidy Cessna On Monday earlier this week the HFHS Jags varsity softball team began their tenacious week of games and competition. Starting right after school last week the ladies hosted a game against Hill City, they lost the game but later in the week came to avenge themselves. After their loss against Hill city they can only afford one more loss, as the playoffs are double elimination. Then on Tuesday the girls headed to Brainerd where they played Betha-Hewitt/Verndale, the opposing team came at the Jags with a season record of 16-8. During the game against Betha-Hewitt/Verndale the first batter up, Emily Stafne, hit a line drive right over the fence putting the jags up by one within the first couple pitches of the game. Later in the game Raechel Painovich singled, Madelyn Churchill doubled, and Haley Rimer tripled, that left the score 3-0 with the jags up only in the first inning. Throughout the game Christeva Perrotti pitched 76 times with 55 strikes, not walking a single player. In the second game against Sebeka, te #1 seed from the other side of Section 5A. Te jgas took an immediate lead when Madeln Churchill drove Raechel Painovich to home. In the third inning Abby Painovich tripled bringing Emily Stafne and Raechel home. Christeva Perrotti pitched 91 times throughout the game and the team never ran out of their stamina or drive.
Thursday the girls traveled to Brainerd to take on the Isle Huskies. There, the season came to an end after taking a loss in the first game against them. The Jags followed behind the opposing team 2-1 until the fifth inning when the girls came up short on a few plays. After the long game the girls lost 8-1. Madelyn Churchill led the team in hitting with two, and Bella Brant drove in their only run. Christeva finished out her high school career in softball allowing 4 earned runs and only walking one player. Seniors Abby Painovich, Haley rimer, Maddie MAtson, and Christeva Perrotti showed strengths all leaders should. Over the years they’ve grown and worked as a team and led the team to become Section 5A Runner-Up, which is as far as the Jags Softball team had gone nearly 20 years.
