Later in the week at Fairview in St. Joseph, they shot a 379 which was good enough for sixth among the 18 teams in the field with all Trojans shooting below 100. They'll play a team match on Thursday before going into their final week of regular season play.

Park Hill Softball
Park Hill softball went through a rough last week as they lost three games to Lee's Summit West, Park Hill South, and Liberty. After jumping out to a 6-2 lead, Park Hill South scored four runs in the top of the third and wouldn't look back. A valient comeback for the Trojans came up short as they fell 11-10. Bethany Sullinger contributed with a three-run homer along with Meghan Nelsen, Michele Rupard, and Liza Hill. On Thursday, the Trojans were stuck in a 3-3 tie with Liberty until the final two innings when Liberty added seven runs to complete a 10-3 victory over Park Hill. A Nikki Moss RBI triple to left in the first scored the only three runs for the Trojans. They're now 4-7 overall with a 1-2 conference record. This week's games will include road trips to Truman and Ruskin.
