Dexter improves their record to 3-2 on the season. Bernie is now 2-3."We struggled defensively in the first game today against Dexter," stated Bernie softball coach Brad Botsch. "When you have 8 physical miscues, you really make it tough on yourself. We played much better in the second game against Scott City, but came up just short."
"Blakely Bradshaw threw both games for us today and did an excellent job. We have just got to find a way to make the plays behind her," continued Botsch. "We had some good moments today, we just have to keep working. I think we'll get there eventually. We had girls competing better today than what we've had so, I think we'll get there."
