The Dexter Lady Bearcat softball team was handed its first loss of the season on Friday (April 1) afternoon at the hands on the Kennett Indians. Several fielding errors from the ‘Cats, mixed with great pitching from the Indians led to the loss.

The Indians’ offense surged in the first inning, putting up four runs off four hits, including an inside the park home run. Dexter’s lineup was three up, three down in the bottom of the first.

The fourth inning saw the Lady ‘Cats biggest offensive production of the contest, when they scored four runs off seven hits, but Kennet still had a commanding 11-5 lead going into the fifth.


Dexter only gave up one run in the fifth inning and held Kennet scoreless in the sisxth, but the Lady ‘Cats weren’t able to get any offensive rally going.

Erika Cobb drove in Kendra Stevenson for Dexter’s only run in the seventh inning, but it was too little, too late for the Lady ‘Cats, and the Indians came out on top 14-6.

With the loss, the Lady 'Cats move to 3-1 on the season. The game was Kennett's first win, and they improved their record to 1-2.

The Lady ‘Cats will be in action again on Monday (April 4), when they will face Senath-Hornersville on the road. First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.
