Blooming Prairie softball blanked by Maple River Monday 2-0
The Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms softball team was looking to snap a four-game losing streak and earn a regular season sweep of Gopher Conference foe Maple River in Blooming Prairie Monday, but it was the Eagles winning via a shutout by the score of 2-0.
The Blossoms were held to three hits in the game, with Allison Krohnberg, Maren Forystek and Lauren Schammel all going 1 for 3.
