On the road in their season opener, the Lady Cards (0-1, 0-0 Big Rivers Conference) headed east to face the Tigers (3-1, 0-0 Wisconsin Valley Conference). After falling behind early, Chi-Hi settled into the game and came within a play at the plate of tying it in the fifth.
The home team responded with 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th and 6th innings, and though the Lady Cards brought the tying run to the plate in the final frame, they were unable to complete the comeback.
Senior second baseman Roz Twyman tallied three singles and a double in a 4-for-4 performance, while junior pitcher Willa Risinger struck out 7 in a strong season debut.
