Lady Bulldogs JV Softball Team Falls Short Against Lady Knights

The JV Lady Bulldogs fell behind early and couldn’t come back in a 13-3 loss to South Dearborn on Tuesday evening.  South Dearborn’s timely hitting and errors in the field for the Lady Bulldogs contributed to the loss.
 
Georgia Mertz led Batesville at the plate going 2-3 on the night.  Natasha Fowler and Emma Livers had the other hits for the Lady Bulldogs.  Fowler drove in 2 runs in the top of the first with a timely double.
 
Sarah Ripperger got the start on the mound.  She lasted two innings, allowing four hits and nine runs while striking out one.  Katie Mobley came on in relief and pitched two innings, giving up five hits and four runs.
 
The JV Lady Bulldogs will next be in action Thursday evening as they travel to Lawrenceburg.  First pitch will be immediately following the varsity game.
