Adapted Trojans lose to South Washington

New Prague’s Adapted Softball team travelled to East Ridge High School Thursday, April 25, where they lost a 14-3 contest to the South Washington Thunderbolts.

New Prague just couldn't seem to get in the rhythm, coach Shellie Kriha said. “We allowed too many runs and didn't produce hits on offense,” she said.

South Washington took a 4-0 lead in the first, but New Prague got hits from Evan Minar and Shane Friedrick before Breanna Stark drove in the team’s first run.

The Trojans gave up five runs each in the second and third innings. New Prague got some offense in the top of the fourth, with Seth Dorner starting things off with a base hit, followed by Minar, Fredrick and Stark. Fredrick got the RBI single to get Dorner home, but the Trojans left the bases loaded. The Trojans held the Thunderbolts scoreless in the fourth with good defensive plays by Aaron Adamson, Blake Sherman and Fredrick.

New Prague got hits by Garret Gagner, Blake Perry and Dorner to bring in one run in the fourth, but fell short as the game ended via the 10-run rule.

Dorner and Fredrick led the Trojans with two hits each.

New Prague was scheduled to travel to Bloomington Jefferson to take on South Suburban Tuesday, April 30, and will host Burnsville/Farmington/Lakeville Thursday, May 2. On Tuesday, May 7, they travel to Minneapolis Roosevelt, then New Prague hosts White Bear Lake on Thursday, May 9.
