hitting on our HOME

Second base, Naomi Peterson (‘23) partakes in her last home game as a part of the Arlington varsity girls softball team. Ending the league game with a disappointing loss, Peterson had much to look forward to with the district games coming up. “This was our last home game! It was just a league game. We ended up losing.”

Being one of three freshmen on the varsity softball team, Kylie Nuyen (‘26) has a lot of expectations put on her shoulders especially during a highly intense game such as one against Stanwood. Nuyen had mixed feelings about the outcome of the game seeing as the team lost, but not going down without a fight as they had gone into extra innings. “I think it could have been better but feel like a lot of people tried their hardest so that’s the best we could do.”

Going into the game with the expectation that they were going to beat Stanwood with ease, left fielder Ainsley Kahler (‘24) is shocked while playing a tough game with an unfortunate outcome against them. In one of the first district games, Kahler had high hopes about winning against Stanwood but in the end, was disappointed losing to Stanwood 3-8. “I was hoping to win.” Kahler said, “The end of the game was really disappointing because it’s Stanwood and Arlington…We usually have to beat Stanwood and we wanted to make a deal about how baseball had just lost to Stanwood so we had to beat them then. And just after the game we were very disappointed that we lost. We just knew that we had to win the next few games for districts but we didn’t think about it that much. It’s the game. It’s over now so we can’t really do much about it.”
