DELTA SOFTBALL DROPS OPENER TO EGYPTIAN

DELTA, Mo. -- The Delta Lady Bobcat softball team opened its season Friday with a 5-1 loss to Egyptian.

Losing pitcher Rebecca Cook drove in her team's lone with a double in the first inning. Egyptian, which took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, added a single run in the fifth and two insurance runs in the seventh.

Perryville 2, St. Pius 2

HILLSBORO, Mo. -- A downpour in the top of the seventh inning doused a Perryville threat as play was halted with the game tied and Lady Pirates at second and third with nobody out.

The game will be resumed at a date to be determined.

St. Pius had taken a 2-0 lead in the fifth, but Perryville (0-1) tied the score in the sixth on an RBI triple by Amy Steffens and a RBI single by Amanda Nuyt.
