CLERMONT, Florida - The Knox softball team fell twice in day four of their time at The Spring Games. The Prairie Fire fell to Worcester State University 11-2 in game one and fell to Keuka College 11-3 in game two.

The Prairie Fire came out in game one with a single run in the top of the first inning. The Lancers answered back with two runs of their own in the bottom of the first. Worcester added five more runs in a long bottom of the third. The Lancers pushed two more across the plate in the fourth. Knox managed to put one more run on the board in the fifth. Worcester continued with two more in the fifth to end the game. 

The Prairie Fire scored first in game two against Keuka with a single run in the first. Knox held off Keuka until the third when the Wolves scored five runs to take the lead. Knox scored another in the third. Keuka continued to increase their lead in the fifth with three runs and an additional three runs in the sixth. The Prairie Fire attempted to rally back and were able to push one run across the plate in the sixth, but ultimately fell short. 

Liv Dunn led Knox with three hits on the day. Maddie Poetzinger tallied two hits. 

"All in all, we just need to tighten some things up as a defense" said Head Coach Erin Clark. "We have been playing some good teams while we've been down here, and good teams are going to hit the ball, and with that we just need to be more consistent with the little things. We are hitting the ball, but we are getting a little too far behind too early in the game for us to get to where we need to be."

The Prairie Fire softball team will conclude their time at The Spring Games on March 22nd with one game against Manchester University and one game against The College at Old Westbury.
