The Whippet Softball Team played their first game of the year Monday night, April 4, and lost to a tough Jefferson team 14-1. Whitewater trailed 6-1 after four innings as Jenna Pope did a nice job pitching and keeping the game close. Jefferson erupted for eight runs in the fifth inning to put the game out of reach.

Jenna Pope, Shyan Lesperance and Nataly Benes each had a hit, while Samantha McKelvey scored the lone Whippet run.

Whitewater plays Clinton at home tonight (Tuesday, April 5) and then travels to Beloit Turner on Wednesday, April 6. Games start at 5:00 p.m.
