The East Troy softball team hosted Big Foot Tuesday afternoon in a Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 2 regional opener. The winner advanced to a regional semifinal Wednesday at top-seeded Delavan-Darien.
East Troy closed its regular season May 17 with a 13-1, five-inning loss at McFarland, ranked fifth in Division 2.
“(It was) one of those games that we came out flat and didn’t make plays,” East Troy coach Greg Prince said. “(We had) too many errors against a good team.”
The Trojans had just four hits, led by Vanessa Dingman’s two. Chloe Jakscht and Kelly Griffa each added one.
Sophia Heimos took the loss, as she allowed five earned runs, 11 hits and one walk. Eight of McFarland’s runs were unearned, as East Troy committed seven errors.
“Sophia pitched a pretty good game,” Prince said. “Unfortunately, we made mistakes behind her. She left a few pitches up, and that hurt her.”
