If the definition of the word “heartbreaker” includes losing an 11-inning game by one run, then the Bishop High varsity softball team got their hearts broken after a 2-1 High Desert League game at Kern Valley on Tuesday.
“Actually, we did an outstanding job, I’m very proud of the girls,” said Lady Broncos coach Stacy Van Nest. “We especially played outstanding defense.”

With one week remaining on its High Desert League schedule, the Bishop High varsity softball team improved its league mark to 6-2 with a 3-0 win over Mojave last Friday at the Bishop City Park.
The Lady Broncos are now tied with Rosamond for second place in the HDL, with 8-0 Kern Valley leading the league.

Allowing Lee Vining two runs in the bottom of the seventh, the Big Pine High baseball team came just short in a 6-5 Hi-Lo League loss on the road Wednesday.
A close contest throughout, the Warriors had the upper hand  most of the game, leading 2-0 in the first inning, 4-2 at the end of three and 5-4 heading into the final inning. The Tigers then scored two in the bottom of the seventh for the win.
