NEOSHO, Mo. — Crowder College's softball team improved to 10-8-1 with an 8-5 win over Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (11-6) in the first game of a doubleheader Friday at the Neosho Sports Complex. Results of the second game were not available at press time.
The Roughriders entered the game after suffering two one-run losses to NEO last month in Miami, Oklahoma.
NEO got on the board in the top of the first when Torey Tedlock drove in Jadyn Helm with a single to left field, but the Roughriders responded in the bottom of the frame with a Layla Pasley single to center that plated Karlee McAllister. Crowder took a 2-1 lead when Pasley scored on a Madelief Croonen sacrifice fly to right field.
