Dayton Girls Drop 2 to Colton

COLTON – The Dayton softball team traveled to Colton Friday for a double-header and lost two close games, 9-7 and 20-17.

Senior Kellie Moore was six-for-nine at the plate, with six RBIs over the two games, but it wasn’t enough.

“This was our first game day and the girls had a good showing,” said Dayton assistant coach Desirae Jones. “There are things we need to work on but we saw lots of good things from the girls too. We out-hit Colton in both games but we had a few more bobbles on defense.”

The Lady Bulldogs travel to Riverview Friday and then host Prescott on Saturday for their first league games.
