The Panorama softball team (4-12) lost at Woodward-Granger (12-4-1), 11-0 on Wednesday, June 18.

“We had a good first inning again, only holding them to one run after going scoreless but could not get things going against a good pitcher in Lantz. They got some key hits in the next couple innings, putting us in a tough hole to climb out of, and it just wasn’t our night. Hats off to them, and we are moving on to DMC on Thursday,” Head Coach Ismael Galvan said.

Galvan’s praise for Lantz is well founded. The sophomore pitcher held Panorama hitless. Panorama was able to reach base on three errors and one walk.
