Perham softball head coach Tyler Doll knew his team would need to score a lot of runs if it wanted to beat the Park Rapids Area Panthers on April 4 at Arvig Park. However, Panther pitcher Brooke Jerger made sure that didn’t happen when she shut down the Yellowjackets, helping the Panthers to an 11-1 season opening win.
Jerger scattered four hits while allowing one run. She struck out eight and did not walk a batter. She started strong, striking out five of the six batters she faced to start the game. Perham’s Erin Winter drove in the lone run for the Yellowjackets with an RBI double in the third inning.
However, the Panthers had already staked Jerger to a seven run lead when the Yellowjackets struck for their lone run. The Panthers capitalized
