Softball roundup: Silver Creek upsets 5A No. 1 Broomfield

The No. 1 team in Class 5A went down in its first game of the season — a 5-4 loss to Silver Creek.

The Raptors, No. 6 in the CHSAANow.com preseason Class 4A softball poll, grabbed the lead early and held on to beat the Eagles.

Kayla Harper’s two-RBI triple in the second inning gave Silver Creek a 3-0 lead over Broomfield, then Dana Dwyer made it 5-1 Silver Creek with a two-run homerun.

Broomfield fought back in the seventh inning as the Eagles had runners on first and second with no outs, down 5-4.

But, the last out of the game was recorded on a baserunning error. Silver Creek finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jetta Nannen gave up three earned runs in a complete game effort for Silver Creek.
