Hampton-Dumont/CAL softball met the end to their season in a 12-0 loss at Mount Vernon in the Class 3A Regional Championship on July 12.

The Bulldogs were unable to record a single hit in the loss to the 34-4 powerhouse.

Mount Vernon, a program that has great experience in the postseason, showed that advantage over a young HDC team.

“To be competitive in this game, we were going to have to have one of our strongest performances and Monday night that just wasn't the case,” coach Kelsey Enslin said.

Opposing pitcher played a stellar game and continued to improve her pitching as the game went on.

Mount Vernon recorded 12 hits.

“Overall, I am very proud of the girls and their ability to get to this game,” Enslin said. “It is a great experience as we continue to move forward and try to take another step forward in our program.”
