Solo runs in the fourth and sixth innings proved to be the difference as the Chesterton softball team dropped a 2-1 Duneland Athletic Conference decision at Lake Central on Wednesday.

“I thought the last time we played them, we played poorly but managed to stay in the game,” Chesterton coach LouAnn Hopson said. “Tonight, I thought we played well enough to win. I’m pleased with the effort, but obviously disappointed in the loss.”

The Trojans opened up the scoring in the second inning when Ryan Bozak lead off with a single. Megan Tymorek moved her to second on a sacrifice bunt and Jaren Lynch’s RBI single made the score 1-0.

Lake Central tied the game in the fourth when they took advantage of an error before scoring the game-winner in the sixth.
