Shut Out Ends Mid-Prairie Softball Season at Chariton
The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk softball team fell in the first round of the Class 3A regional tournament last week at Chariton 4-0. The first inning was too much for the Hawks to overcome as Chariton charged out of the gate with a pair of runs on a hit and three costly Golden Hawk errors. The Chargers would add on single runs in the third and sixth innings for insurance. At the plate, the Hawks were not without their own chances, putting the lead-off batter on in each of the first four innings, and finishing with six hits, but they were unable to come up with a hit with runners in scoring position on the night, as Chariton starter Lucy Stratton navigated the traffic. Following the game, Golden Hawk head coach Amy Hartsock-Williams talked about the determining factors in the contest.
