JUDA - One night after handing Monticello their first conference loss of the season, the Juda-Albany softball team dropped their game on Tuesday to the visiting Orioles, 4-2.
In a battle of aces, Argyle senior Jessica Treuthardt picked up the win over Juda-Albany's Tabatha Davis. Juda-Albany finished with seven hits, which was one more than Argyle, but didn't score until late in the seventh.
Argyle's Jenna Langmeier and Hannah Saalsaa each finished with doubles, while Molly Marass was 2-for-3 for Juda-Albany (11-3, 2-3).
With her team atop the conference standings, Orioles coach Heidi Ganshert's message to her team is simple.
"We have to be ready to go for the next few games," she said. "Tonight was a very well-played game by both teams, (but) in the end they (Juda-Albany) had more errors."
