Rangers Drop Season Opener to Panthers

Smyrna, Tenn.  — The Parkside softball team opened the 2024 season on Friday afternoon competing against Kentucky Wesleyan. The Rangers jumped out to a lead early, but ultimately fell 5-3 to the Panthers.

  • Taylor Delgado went 1-3 with a two RBI triple in the second. 

  • Shelly Diez threw three innings of relief, allowing just one run on three hits.

The Panthers got one back in the bottom of the second, then was able to push three across on two hits in the bottom of the third to take a 4-2 lead. Kentucky Wesleyan added one more in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI groundout.
