The Gibraltar softball jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but gave up at least three runs in each inning after that to lose to Coleman 19-4 in four innings on Friday.

The Vikings scored their two runs by taking advantage of three straight errors followed by a fielder's choice by Anna Jarosh and a ground-out by Addison Richmond. The Cougars would go on to abuse the Vikings' parade of pitchers, doing the most damage against Pam Prescott (1/3 innings, three hits, six runs, five earned) and Emilie Glocke (2/3 innings, two hits, four runs, four earned). The Vikings would score single runs in the third and fourth innings, only to be greeted by six more from the Cougars. Prescott, the Jarosh sisters, and Courtney Foy each collected hits in the Vikings' loss.  The Cougars had five players drive in at least two runs, led by Alyssa Hoida's four RBI.

The Vikings are back in action at home on Saturday when they host Southern  Door for a doubleheader at 11 a.m.
