The NRHEG High School softball team ran into a red-hot pitcher last Thursday and lost 7- 0 to Bethlehem Academy at Legion Field.
After a scoreless first two innings, the Cardinals put five runs on the board in the third and addd two in the fourth, finishing with 14 hits and one error.
The Panthers had one hit, a double by Preslie Nielsen. NRHEG struck out 14 times and did not draw a walk. The Panthers played errorless defense.
Faith Nielsen pitched all seven innings for the Panthers, allowing seven earned runs while striking out seven and walking one.
"Bethlehem Academy is an all-around good team," said NRHEG coach Kayley Cameter. "They're a strong defensive team with a good pitcher in the circle, and they were able to make solid contact with the ball and put it into the gaps. As a team, we made some good plays in the field and Faith Nielsen pitched well in the circle with seven strikeouts. The girls worked hard and we are continuing to learn and grow together as a team."
It was much closer Monday as the Panthers fell 6-5 in eight innings at Blooming Prairie.

The NRHEG High School baseball team statisticians had some difficulties during last Thursday's non- conference game at Waseca.
It's about the only thing that went wrong for the Panthers all day.
Freshman left-hander Jared Lee pitched into the fifth inning and Deven Parpart finished it off as the Panthers prevailed 13-3 at Tink Larson field.
"We had great pitching from Jared Lee," said NRHEG coach Shawn Larson. "Waseca scored their runs while Jared was pitching, however all three of their runs were unearned. After Jared, Deven Parpart came in and closed out the game without allowing any more runs."
It was an outstanding performance by the Panthers, who have no seniors on the roster.
"Along with our good defense, we had the bats going today," said Larson. "All in all it was a great performance, and when we play like this, you just want to get to the next game so we can keep playing."
