The Knoxville Softball Squad got its first home run of the season but it was not enough as the Panthers fell to Clarke last night 7-2. Alex Griggs connected on her first homer of the season going 1/3 on the night, and Anna Sanderson had a double. Jadyn Streigle took the loss and was roughed up early on. Ashlyn Finarty pitched 4 2/3 innings of relief with five strikeouts and no runs. The Panthers are now 4-5 on the season and 2-2 in conference play. Knoxville is off tonight and will return to action at home Wednesday against Chariton.
