The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Cowgirls softball team returned to action on Tuesday, as they made the trip north on Highway 69 to take on the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura Cardinals in non-conference action at GHV High School in Garner.
GHV would start the game with a run in the 1st, as CGD immediately answered in the top of the 2nd on RBI singles from Ella Engstrom and Quinn Brooks to take a 2-1 lead. GHV answered in the bottom of the frame, putting up 4 runs in the 2nd and 3 runs in the 3rd to take an 8-2 lead. CGD would get a run back in the 4th off another Quinn Brooks RBI single to cut the deficit to 8-3, but GHV added 4 runs in the bottom of the 5th to walk off a 12-3, 5-inning victory.
Quinn Brooks had the top day at the plate for the Cowgirls, going 2-for-3 with 2 RBI, as Ella Engstrom went 1-for-1 with an RBI. Tess Wibholm was charged with the loss, allowing 8 runs (3 earned) on 5 hits and struck out 4 in 2.1 innings.
