The Parkside softball team suffered a pair of road losses on Sunday afternoon at Northwood to finish out a long week for the Rangers filled with road games. They'll stay on the road the rest of this week for four more doubleheaders before returning home to face PNW on Tuesday, April 19.
 
GAME 1 RECAP
The Rangers took the early lead over the home Timberwolves in game one, as Taylor Delgado brought in Dani Evans with an RBI single in the top of the second inning and freshman Tia Livernash hit a 2-run single to score Delgado and freshman Rylee Baetz, making it 3-0 Parkside.
 
Northwood followed that with nine straight unanswered runs in the third and fourth innings however, and Parkside couldn't mount a comeback. They did add one final run in the top of the ninth thanks to a Jadynn Powell RBI single.
