On May 8, Campbellsport softball lost to Lomira 3-0 on a nice, spring day for this Flway Conference matchup.
Lomira (16-3, 9-2) took a 1-0 lead over Campbellsport (8-10, 4-7) in the bottom of the second inning.
The Lions added two runs in the third inning to increase their lead to 3-0. Lomira’s three-run lead was enough in the Flyway Conference tilt, with the Cougars' offense held to no hits by Nora Buske in the contest.
Peyton Hall had a good performance in the pitching circle for the Cougars, limiting the Lions’ strong offense to three runs.
“Peyton pitched well for us, with only allowing one earned run, however, Buske was on fire for Lomira. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat and move on to the next game,” said Head Coach Dan Heisdorf. “I am happy with the way the girls played this week; playing four games in four days is a grind, and three of those games were against ranked teams.”
At Springs

Olivia McCarty pitched a strong seven innings, supported by her defense, to limit the Ledgers’ offense to one run in the Cougars’ 5-1 conference win.
“Olivia just keeps getting more and more confident every time out on the mound,” said Head Coach Dan Heisdorf. “The girls were much more patient tonight and sat on their pitch.”
