Dodge City Softball vs Great Bend 4-18-17

For once the sun shined and the fields were dry as the Dodge City Lady Demons traveled to Great Bend to face the Lady Panthers.

Great Bend took the first game of the double-header 8 to 1. In the second game, the Lady Panthers got the bats hot early tallying four runs and batting around the order in the First Inning.

Dodge City would add back some runs, but Great Bend never gave up the lead and ended the game in the Bottom of the Sixth Inning by run rule with a final score of 15 to 5.
