TECUMSEH — Errors cost Tecumseh’s varsity softball team a 12-5 loss against visiting Saline on Wednesday, April 27, but coach Jeff Nowak took it all in stride.
 
“This was one of those games where things didn’t go our way and it seemed like everything did for Saline,” said Nowak. “Give Saline credit for sure, but it didn’t help that we didn’t make plays when we could have.”  
 
He added that his players would remain confident, noting, “Bottom line, we still have played real well this year and this one game doesn’t define who we are.”
 
It is the only loss the Indians have recorded all season.
 
Kayla Wild recorded the loss in the circle, allowing three earned runs while striking out six.
 
Tecumseh was leading 5-2 in the bottom of the third inning and had bases loaded with no outs and failed to score.
 
In the top of the fourth inning, Saline had a runner on second base with two outs and then scored eight runs (1 earned) with the Indians committing two errors.
 
Senior Tyffani Bryan had a solo home run, her third of the season, while Maggie Foss hit a two-run single. Danielle Nowak had a RBI double; Morgan Cadmus had a RBI single; Monica Meger had a double and Wild, Paige Otto and Kylie Perkins each added singles.
 
Tecumseh (15-1 overall and 5-1 in the Southeastern Conference) followed with a 6-1 victory against visiting Blissfield on Friday, April 29.
 
Wild (9-1) went the distance, allowing one unearned run on four hits while striking out 14.
 
Both teams went scoreless in the first inning after each left two runners stranded on the bases. 
 
Tecumseh had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the second inning when Foss hit a two-run double to put the Indians on the scoreboard.
 
With two outs and two runners on the bags, Bryan hit a three-run home run to give Tecumseh a 5-0 lead. 
 
Bryan went 2-for-4 at the plate with the homer, her fourth of the season.
