MONTICELLO - The Monticello High School softball team committed three errors that led to a couple of runs for Potosi and the Chieftains rolled to an 11-0 win on Thursday.
Monticello senior Jessie Garrison struck out Potosi's leadoff hitter in both the first and second innings, but she still got on base after wild throws on dropped third strikes. The leadoff hitter came around to score both innings.
"If we don't have those there errors they don't have those five runs," Monticello coach Duane Garrison said. "We are a young team that will have some growing pains."
Potosi scored three runs in the first and two in the second to take a 5-0 lead.
Jessie Garrison went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the Ponies.
Garrison pitched five innings and gave up five earned runs on 13 hits. She struck out three and walked three.
Monticello drops to 0-2, 0-1 Six Rivers East. The Ponies will host Juda-Albany on Monday.
