Northeast Nodaway's softball team has been on a roller coaster of a season this year. First, they started off on top of the world as they hung 23 runs on Stewartsville/Osborn and won 23-13. Then, they played a forgettable game against Albany, walked a ton of batters, and lost 16-4. It looked like more of the same when Platte Valley roared out to a 7-0 lead after three innings on Tuesday, September 9th. But Northeast spent the rest of the game chipping away, scoring one in the third, three in the fourth, one in the fifth, and three in the sixth before coming up two runs short.
Aubrey Fetters provided the big blow, a triple, and went two for four at the plate. She showed promise last year, getting a key pinch hit against North Platte, and justified it in Tuesday's game, driving in two runs. Mylee Wilmes was two for four with a double. Blair Nelson had a triple, while Rylee Scadden, a freshman, got a hit. Scadden showed some speed on the basepaths, swiping two.
With the graduation of Hadley DeFreece and Lindsey Jackson, the Bluejays have been searching for answers at pitcher, and have been using three. Addie Thummel, Bristol Hicks, and Paizlee Norman all pitched in the game and they cut down on their walks, only walking one batter, giving them a chance to get back in the game after they fell behind.
