Milton-Freewater-The Ontario softball team suffered a major setback in its quest for Greater Oregon League supremamcy, as it was swept by Mac-Hi in doubleheader, losing the opener, 3-2, and the nightcap, 3-1 Friday in Milton-Freewater.
Of the six total runs scored by the Pionners, only one was earned, as the Tigers made several mistakes on the field. Ontario had its chances in the game, but left several runners on base.
Hopper said his team needs to regroup.
“We have to make some adjustments,” Hopper said. “I believe in these girls. It’s going to click and we’re hoping it will click at the right time.”
Ontario (6-5 overall, 0-4 league) hosts Nampa at 5 p.m. Monday.
