Mixed results at jamborees
The Mount Si Wildcats’ softball team split two games at their jamboree last Saturday at Mount Si. In game one, Juanita scored four times in the third inning off of Wildcat reliever Tracey Barclay to post a 4-0 win, and in game two, starting pitcher Kandis Clesson struck out six in a 1-0 Mount Si win over Liberty. Each contest lasted three innings.
“It was awesome. It was so much fun. I’m glad to be a part of this group of girls,” freshman outfielder Melissa Webster said.
Mount Si’s baseball jamboree last Friday at Sumner was snowed out after one inning.
