Dora sweeps twinbill from Lady Longhorns

A Logan softball team that virtually is rebuilding from scratch dropped its season-opening doubleheader to Dora by scores of 17-1 and 27-5 on Friday.

The Lady Longhorns played their first game since 2019 after the program took a two-year hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Logan also is a young team, with a roster that contains only four seniors and no juniors.

Dora improved to 4-1 overall.

“Dora is an excellent team,” Logan coach Dustin Robertson said. “The girls are having fun and glad to be playing softball again. We are working hard to get better.”

In the first game, Desta Rose hit a triple, then scored on Charli Fuller’s single for Logan’s only run. Both are eighth-graders.

In the nightcap, Marilyn Cortez Moreno hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run for the Lady Longhorns.
