The Clinton Prairie Gophers were defeated by Riverton Parke 12-5 in Tuesday night’s softball Regional Championship.
After scoring three runs in the first inning, Clinton Prairie struggled to produce offense the rest of the way, and couldn’t slow down the high-powered Panther attack.
Riverton Parke scored a run in every inning except the fifth. But they broke the game open in the sixth with a grand slam off the bat of Aubri Mormon.
Mormon finished the game with three hits and six RBIs.
Keera Grizzle ended her sophomore campaign with a three-for-four outing that included an RBI and two runs scored.
For seniors Sadie Weliver, Lily Coleman and Zelda Wampler, their careers with Clinton Prairie come to an end as two-time Softball Sectional Champions.
The Gophers finish the first year under head coach Jaime Frost with an 18-10 record and will look to defend their Sectional title in 2027.
