 Well, expectations high in 2017 for the Park Rapids softball team. They are ranked ninth in class 2A and still have a zero in that loss column. Can they keep things going this afternoon? They are in Monaga. Can they stay undefeated? Top of the first. They get it going early. Tara Johanning with the infield hit. Ball gets past the catcher at home. Another run scores 2-0 Park Rapids later in the inning. Kylie Patchel looks to steal home. She's caught in a pickle, but beats the throw to score another run. Then let's go to the second this time. Patchel gets it done with the aluminum. Finds a gap to the grass. That's an RBI single. And as Park Rapids area is going to win 12-1 over Monaga.
