The varsity softball team lost both games of a doubleheader 11-0 and 14-0 at Fernley last Saturday.

Truckee head coach Mitch Brown called the games “worse than ugly.”

“I don’t know who it was out there but it wasn’t Truckee softball,” he said. “They didn’t show up and Fernley did.”

The junior varsity softball team dropped both games of a doubleheader 14-5 and 12-1 at Fernley last Saturday. Because of stormy weather canceling scheduled games the previous two weeks, the doubleheader marked the first games of the season for the Wolverines.
