For the Leader
The Heritage High School softball team did not play last weekend after the Storm Classic in Catlin was rained out on Saturday. The team took a break from playing games because of spring break and the tournament was not rescheduled.
The junior varisty played Mattoon on Monday night and won the game 7-4. The Hawks led by as many as six, but surrendered three runs in the sixth inning.
"I thought we did a good job since we had not played in a long time," Boyer said, "Mattoon is a good time and is comparable to a smaller schools varsity program. We played well and got to get alot of players in."
The Hawks varsity will play two games next week, both of which are on the road. On Thursday they will travel to play Okaw Valley High School at 4:30 p.m.
On Monday they will travel to Villa Grove for another 4:30 p.m. start time.
The varsity is coming off of two wins a 12-0 victory against against Oakwood on March 23, where the Hawks had twelve hits and Hillary Smith had the shutout. On March 26, the Hawks defeated Tuscola 3-1 and gave up no walks and no errors in the game.
The Hawks will play Martinsville on the road before hosting South Piatt on April 15. The next day they will host Arthur Lovington for a game with a designated hitter.
