Once, Satan challenged Saint Peter to a softball game. Peter said, “How could you win? All the softball players are in heaven!” Satan responded, “How could I lose? All the umpires are with me in hell!”

While our Lady Knights softball team has not experienced too many evil umpires yet, they have had their share of challenges. Softball requires nine players on the field, and our team only has 10 participants. This means only one layer at a time can rest during games. Luckily, the Lady Knights are toiling in the weight room (pavilion) to ensure they have the strength and endurance to make up for their lacking numbers.

Even with the season just beginning, the softball squad has already started having fun. To start the season, they defeated Bourgade Catholic in a scrimmage, capitalizing on Bourgade’s miscues.

Not only have the Lady Knights done well in games, but they also have been having fun as a team. Sophomore Maria Zello says, “My favorite thing about the softball season is getting to know the girls. I’m not the best at softball, so it’s nice to have this great team cheering me on.”

In their first game against the Academy of Tuscon, the Knights had to travel hours by bus to reach the game. Despite their fatigue, they managed to drive in five runs and have a great time in their first game.

Be sure to attend the Lady Knights’ upcoming games, and cheer them to victory!
