It didn't start out so well for the NRHEG softball team at JWP Monday.
But it ended great.
The Panthers trailed 4-0 after two innings, but they plated three runs in the third, seven in the fourth and five in the fifth en route to a 16-8 Gopher Conference victory.
"Coming off a tournament this past weekend, we knew we had to bring a lot of energy in this game right from the start," said NRHEG coach Kaylie Camerer. "We did right away on the on both the defen- sive and offensive sides of the ball."
Olivia Berg led the Panthers' 12- hit attack, going 3-for-4 with two runs. Isabel Stadheim went 2-for-3 with two runs, Faith Nielsen 2-for-4 with four RBIs, Izley Boerner 2-for- 5 with two RBIs, Tayler Schmidt 2- for-5 with two runs and one RBI. Addie Stadheim also hit safely. Isabel Stadheim stole three bases. Preslie Nielsen drove in two runs, scored twice and walked twice.
Faith Nielsen went the distance in the circle for the Panthers, allowing seven earned runs on 11 hits, with five strikeouts and four walks.
"Faith pitched a great consistent game and our defense stepped up behind her," said Camerer. "We made great heads-up plays all game and Payton Bunn had a great diving catch in the outfield. At the plate we needed to stay aggressive and we had two big innings where we stayed disciplined at the plate, when we put the ball in play we made their defensive work, and we took advantage of their mistakes while on the basepaths."
It was, according to Camerer, one of the Panthers' best complete games this season.

The NRHEG girls' track and field team secured only one first place in Monday's Blooming Prairie Invitational.
It was the most important one.
The Panthers, bouyed by nine sec- ond-place showings, captured first place as a team.
"The girls did well winning the meet with zero first-place finishes," said Panthers coach Duey Ferber. "This was a nice meet to see where we stack up for the conference meet. We are finding out who to put where in the upcoming meets."
