J-Hawks salvage split in Classic
After having their 13-game winning streak snapped by No. 1 Des Moines East on Friday night, the fifth-ranked Jefferson softball team lost a second straight Saturday morning when it tumbled to Johnston, 5-2. The J-Hawks bounced back to beat Boone, 3-2, in the afternoon at the Jefferson Classic.
In the opener, J-Hawk ace Hannah Petersen gave up just five hits but the Dragons were able to string together a few to put up five runs on the hard-throwing lefty.
Petersen and fellow senior Rachel Sedlacek were both 2-for-4 with a run scored. Sedlacek had a double while Petersen had a pair of two-baggers and drove in a run.
