The Southern Door softball team could only muster two hits on a cold day in Brussels, losing to Valders 9-1.
The Eagles's lone run came in the second inning when a simple bunt by Samantha Melville turned into a play that eventually took her to third base and brought home Alanah Kaye. The Vikings would tie the game in the top of the third inning and take control from there. A three-run fifth inning chased Ashlyn Delfosse from the pitcher's circle and the Vikings would add four more runs in the sixth inning and one more in the seventh.
Madison Counard registered the only other hit for the Eagles. Eight different Vikings collected hits in the game, including four by Makayla Dallas and two by Arianna Hernandez. Delfosse took the loss for the Eagles, four runs (3 ER) on nine hits while striking out three. Megan Hochkammer went the distance for the Vikings, striking out 14 across seven innings.
