Tigers Softball Thumped by Hawks

The Fridley Tigers lost 10-0 to the Robbinsdale Cooper Hawks.

It was a long afternoon for the softball team, as the Robbinsdale Cooper Hawks thumped the Tigers 10-0 in five innings on Thursday.

The Tigers' pitching combination of Nicole Varichak and Emily Amsler could do little to stop the powerful Hawks line-up.

With her team leading 5-0 in the fifth inning, Nathalee Boissiere of the Hawks cracked a three-run homer over the left field fence to make the score 9-0.
