Despite a 6th inning motivational pep talk by 9th grader Abby Persons, on Saturday softball suffered it’s first loss of the season to Williston. While the Doors could get runners in scoring position, Williston’s stellar pitching kept Deerfield off the score board. Players made great contact with the ball, such as Mia Burch’s line drive to center, however, it was foiled by a diving catch from the outfielder. The team made some unfortunate errors as well, but will use them as motivation to play harder in the next game.
