The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk softball team dropped their third contest of the week when they traveled to Mount Pleasant Tuesday, falling to the previously winless Panthers 4-0. Mount Pleasant got on the board in the first with a single run on two hits and a Mid-Prairie error. The score stayed at 1-0 Panthers until the fifth when Mount Pleasant put together a two out rally that saw five straight hitters reach and three insurance runs cross the plate. With the lead now at 4-0, the Panthers recorded the last six outs for their first win.
The Golden Hawk offense struggled against Mount Pleasant starter Madison Helling who threw all seven innings in the victory, giving up just two hits and three total baserunners. One hit each came from Hannah Sellers and Brenna Jehle. Myah Lugar took the loss for Mid-Prairie going six innings, giving up four runs, none earned on seven hits, walking one and striking out five. The Golden Hawks are now 3-16 and travel to Eddyville-Blakesburg tonight.
