Decked out in pink socks, pink shoelaces, pink eye-black, and pink headbands, the softball team stepped onto the field last night for its first district game.
In the effort to raise to awareness for breast cancer, the home games against Wylie were the annual “pink-out” games.
After a back and forth game pitched by freshman Caroline Witken, the junior varsity team lost 12-7 to the Pirates.
When varsity took the field, with senior Brittany Lewis on the mound, the Pirates scored in the first inning, prompting a 3 run retaliation by the Leopards. After gaining the lead in the first inning, the Leopards maintained it for the rest of the game, widening the gap until they run-ruled Wylie 12-2 in six innings.
The next district game is Friday at Greenville. Junior varsity plays at 5:30 p.m., and varsity plays at 7 p.m.
