Today the Lady Panther softball team hosted Hutchinson Community College for their Pink Day, which was a reschedule from April 7^th. The Panthers faced off against the Dragons with a doubleheader at 2 & 4 and got both wins from Hutchinson.

In game one, Neosho recorded 10 hits and off those hits, scored a total of 6 runs. Neosho's Brittany Cooper went 2-4 in the first game along with many timely hits from the rest of the lineup. Neosho scored once in the 1^st and 2^nd and scored 4 runs in the 4^th to go up 6-1 on the Dragons. But Hutch wasn't letting up just yet. In the 5^th and 6^th, the Dragons scored 1 run apiece to make the score 6-3. In the 7^th inning, Hutch threatened again with adding one more run to the score and with a couple of errors on Neosho's defense, Hutch's  base runner was thrown out at home ending the game. Kyllie Sill was the winning pitcher for game 1 with 2 earned runs off of 7 hits and 2 strikeouts. Finals score was 6-4.

Both offense and defense carried over from game one for Neosho in game two.
