Despite scoring two runs in the first inning, Andover Girls Softball fell to Governor’s Academy 5-2 on Friday. Andover’s record now stands at 0-2.
Andover kicked off the game on a strong note. Victoria Bergeron ’16 started the inning with a walk and scored on an error. Co-Captain Kasey Hartung ’14 got on base on a mishandled sacrifice bunt and scored on an RBI single from fellow Co-Captain Ravenne Nasser ’15.
The team, however, was unable to maintain offensive momentum. A series of defensive miscues resulted in four runs for Governor’s. Andover’s outfield made three errors alone.
Nasser struck out eight and gave up only one earned run in the loss.
The game was initially scheduled at Governor’s but was moved to Andover because of bad field conditions at Governor’s. In a rare occurrence, Andover played as the “away” team at Isham field.
Andover’s game against St. Paul’s, originally planned for Wednesday, was played on Thursday due to the snow.
The team will look for its first win against North Reading High School on Saturday.
