The Lady Warriors nearly pulled a rabbit out of their hat in softball action last week in a close 8-7 loss to Burroughs-Ridgecrest.
Down 5-1 in the top of the seventh inning, Mountain Softball reeled off six runs to take a 7-5 lead, but Burroughs answered in their final at bat in the bottom of the frame with three runs for the final 8-7 score.
Kendall Kapitzke went 3-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI to lead the offense, while Colby Berry also had a double and Ryanna Floyd and Miranda Wert had singles.
In addition to Kapitzke, other Lady Warriors rounding the bases to score were Alexxis Silva, Kathryn Friedt, Berry, Floyd and Wert.
In the circle, Taylor Cummings pitched all seven innings and recorded two strikeouts, while Brittany Puetz led the team in putouts with 10 on the afternoon.
