Mitchell Softball

The Kernel softball team faced Pierre T.F. Riggs on the road last night. In heartbreaking walk-off fashion, the Kernels fell to Pierre 2-1 after a dropped third strike scored a run. A tight ballgame all game long between the two teams and the run scored by the Governors was due to an error on the part of Mitchell in the bottom of the sixth. Rylee Jennings pitched for the Kernels and dealt nine strikeouts. The Kernels lose a tough one and fall to 3-12 overall.
