The trial by fire continued Monday for the Turkey Valley softball team (2-10, 2-2 UIC) as the young team competed at North Fayette Valley (4-7, 3-1 UIC), dropping the pair of UIC games.
Giving up a run in the first and one in the second, the Trojans finally plated its lone run of game one in the third as Annika Bodensteiner was driven home by a Morgan Vsetecka single. Then the TigerHawk offense erupted for three in the bottom half of the third, one in the fourth and four in the sixth to win 10-1.
The Trojans had five hits. Karstyn Lukes and Bodensteiner went 2-for-3, while Vsetecka had one.
Raelen Manderfield allowed nine earned runs in the contest and struck out five.
Four errors proved costly in the nightcap as Turkey Valley fell 12-2 in five innings. The Trojans scratched one home in the first before NFV exploded for five in the second. Putting one more up in the third wasn’t enough for TV as the TigerHawks protected their lead with one in the third, two in the fourth and four in the fifth to win.
TV produced six hits in game two including doubles by Lukes and Layni Schuchhardt.
