After winning all six games to open the season last month at the Irish Dome in Rosemount, the Rainy River Community College women’s softball team was only able to win once in six tries last week on its trip to Titusville, Fla.

“We lost to some good teams,” said RRCC head coach Dieter Humbert, who also noted the Voyageurs were in a position to win all but one of their games last week.

RRCC, which played outside for the first time this season, lost all three of its games March 25 and won one of three games it played March 26.

“The second day we hit the ball much better,” Humbert said.

The Voyageurs lost their first game March 25 against Prairie State, 5-2, in eight innings.

Oashaja Dobie pitched all eight innings for RRCC, allowing five runs, three earned, on nine hits with two walks while striking out four.

On offense, the Voyageurs could only generate four hits. Dobie and Andrea Barylski recorded two hits apiece with one of Dobie’s being a home run.
