Eden Valley-Watkins opened their season last Friday, April 7, with a real nail-biter. After Litchfield posted a 5-0 lead, the Eagles stormed back with three runs in the sixth inning and one more tally in the seventh. However, the jubilance would stop there, as Dragons?Äô hurler Madison Larson shut things down, and Litchfield hung on for the 5-4 victory. Highlights: EV-W; Katherine Gathje 1-1, HR; Maggie Schmaltz 2-3, SB, R; Breanna Stang 2-3; Leah Hemmesch 2-3. Pitching: Kally Plantenberg 7 IP, 5 R, 5 K, 2 BB.
