Some losses are just tougher to take than others.
The Panthers were a game up on the Warriors in the Mount Hamilton Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic League heading into the game last week. The clubs matched runs in the first and again in the fifth, and they were locked in a 2-2 tie at the end of the regulation seven innings. That's how it remained until the bottom of the 11th when the Warriors broke the tie with a run to win. Westmont is also 4-2 in Mount Hamilton Division play. Shannon Linerud and Christina Dolores ripped two hits apiece for the Panthers in the game and Jana Arde slapped a double to round out the club's five-hit attack.
