DeMOTTE â Covenant Christian played its third game of the season and second ever on its new softball field at the school on Saturday morning, April 10.
Unfortunately, the Knights suffered their third straight loss, falling to Westville, 16-4.
What started as a close game through three innings turned into a mercy-rule shortened five-inning game when the wheels fell off the bus for CCHS in the fourth and fifth innings. The teams traded a run in the first inning and the Blackhawks added another in the second.
In the third inning, both teams scored a hat trick, making it 5-3, in Westvilleâs favor. In the fourth and fifth, however, the Blackhawks hit most everything that crossed the plate and the Knights found themselves unable to stop the bleeding. Westville scored six runs in the fifth inning and five in the sixth, ending the game with the 10-run rule after five innings.
