The Lady Eagles battled but couldn’t scrap a win against the Lady Bison on their Senior night on Thursday, April 27th. 

Juniors KK Brodzina and Allison Beeman led the Lady Eagles with two hits. KK had a double among her hits. Sam Shaw also had an RBI.

Beth Pearson hit a triple, and eventually stole home, making the score 3-1. However, the Bison were able to hold on for a 5-4 victory over the Eagles.  

But the loss did not diminish the importance of Senior Night for the Lady Eagle’s four seniors, who were honored before the game.  

“Although the game didn’t go as planned, I think the ceremony was really nice but also emotional. We have all grown up playing together and it will be hard to leave the softball field. However, I am very grateful for the memories and fun times over the years,” said senior Beth Pearson. 

Three of the four girls have been playing on the same team since at least 12u. 

“It’s so surreal that my softball career is coming to an end. It’s bittersweet and sad at the same time. I’ll miss all the coaches and players that made softball so special” said senior Emma Dibert. 

Senior Maci Lingenfelter is looking forward to graduation, but not the end of the softball season. 

“Softball has been a special part of my life and it will take some time to get used to not being on the team anymore,” said Lingenfelter.

Senior Emily Smith is also thankful for the memories she made on the field. 

“Softball is a very big part of my life and it makes me very sad that after this year I won’t step onto a softball field again. I am so thankful for the friendships softball has given me.” said Emily Smith.
